> [@HotRodKid](#): > > the car is drive by wire, and the ecu is designed to yank timing way way back when ever it feels like it, NOT just to control detonation > > he said the car doesnt accellerate … thats the cause for no boost, the ecu senses a problem and wont allow teh car to be driven hard enough to build boost, and probably intentionaly adjusts timing and fuel to make sure theres no boost i follow you i just didnt think the ecu would recognize that, just something i have never read about but thats because i dont know much about the 1.8teeezzz ian you could try taking it to holtz. the service manager there is is paul. he is nice but he is gonna charge you $$$$ to fix it. tough call, i know caito can fix it, and he is decent with his rates, but getting it there is a bitch. holtz is right there, but you pay dealer labor. unles anyone knows of a local shop that could do it i would pay for the flatbed and get it to caito. joe ---

> [@HotRodKid](#): > > can the ecu differentiate between detonation and a bearing knock ? > > if not, the comp using limp mode settings to make sure the car can get to a safe location on the side of the road, and thats all its going to allow exactly, when it knocks past 29.835v on the knock sensor it pulls all boost and timing. Closes the TB, which causes the DV to open, dumping all boost. Ian, check the IC piping on the drivers side of the car. We pulled that off, and if it popped off it might be causing no boost also, granted, it seems there’s a MUCh bigger problem, check it out. But that will causing bucking, no boost, slowness, and gayness… however, not knock, or oil lights. ☹ > [@MidgeX](#): > > brain picke dup a stock 1.8t for like 600 bucks i think $500 😉 – intake mani to turbo, oil pan to valve cover w/accessories and motor mounts… Let me call them up and see what they have, they’re in pittsburgh. ---

> [@HotRodKid](#): > > can the ecu differentiate between detonation and a bearing knock ? > > if not, the comp using limp mode settings to make sure the car can get to a safe location on the side of the road, and thats all its going to allow yup, again i totally get that…but what would cause knock if an oil pump is bad. i mean yeah starve the motor of oil and it gets hot, but i dont see it causing consistent knock, then pulling timing. my question is does lack of oil pressure only cause limp mode (direct relationship, not i.e. motor gets hot from lack of lube and knocks) 29.835 huh? i wish i could have that much knock headroom. with the s4 it is pegged at 12.xx…and it sucks cuz i have one per side and they register motor mount movement…and that sucks cuz it will yank the timing across the board. ---
