Sorry no update for a while been in the NHS hotel, Anyway pro boost ecu is back and fitted have only done just over 500 miles on it so far but with a big grin on my face every time I drive it, No engine light only code I did have early on was evap system (unrelated and sorted with new valve £25) Low down torque is better and will red line easily so have to say worth the effort and at a third of what the inlet rebuild would of cost me I am well happy. Got to learn to drive a revy petrol again after months of driving a diesel around at 1500 rpm😁

Hundreds of pro boosts have now been fitted mainly in Germany which from what I've read have stricter emission levels they have very few reports on test fails due to it which to me is a 👍👍👍 all round 1k to return it to factory spec with its funny running characteristics😁 Or £350 to £400 for a pro boost and inlet clean😀😀 No prizes for which I am going with.

Sorry if it came across that way but felt I needed to explain. Audi had so much trouble and customer complaints in the early days it gave up with the stratified mode I did read somewhere that Audi remaped a few customers cars themselves after complaints forced their hand. The only difference I can find is Audi didn't do away with the EGR. Pro boost did because it causes running issues to any engine that uses it plain and simple. Like I said would you like to run a marathon sucking on co2. I've been on this earth for 60 + years have seen a lot of egr damage in that time I am all for cutting emissions ect but we all can see the damage egr valves have caused my old 3 series diesel was a prime example when I took the inlet off there was barely enough room for air to enter the engine this making it run like crap in turn higher emissions. So I ask is a egr system any cleaner than a engine in good shape???

Just a note on the EGR and emissions with the pro boost fitted so EGR deleted the car passes the german mot on the emissions with no problems Now the german mot is a lot stricter than the uk one If it is well within the uk emissions test without a EGR valve why on earth fit one? A well running engine without EGR is cleaner than a car with one fitted due to the running issues it causes YES???? Probably opened a can of worms debate wise SILLY ME!!

As to the A2OC there is indeed 2 sides I may have been out of order with some of my replies, I am a mild mannered person but in the three pages of replies to my post Not one person actually answered my question it just started to grind in the end. I also Dont have the bottom less pockets that the A2OC members seem to have They seemed to make you feel small because I have'nt got £1500 to throw at a misfire problem for instance might be me but thats how they left me feeling. Like I said the germans totally different

My swirl flaps are the main reason I am going with pro boost A Previous owner obviously had a problem the actuator is missing and flaps are stuck in the fully open default position, The problem they suffer from is being coked up from the crap that the WONDERFUL EGR valve pumps into the engine. Any way I am faced with best part of 1k to fix the inlet or £350 for a pro boost (I wonder which you would choose??) Your vw man says leave them alone Why then did vw and audi stop using them in 2005 none of your fsi engines have them now. If EGR delete is illegal why then are delete kits available everywhere Dont get me wrong EGR is a good thing it just happens to be part of the pro boost map Does an engine being fed by its own exhaust run well (NO it does'nt) would you run a marathon while sucking on a c02 canister??? I Doubt that

Hi Yes of course, There is no power increase with this map Its purely to get rid of stratified mode and iron out other bugs Audi stopped running there engines in strat mode in 2005. Not sure why they still put FSI on the boot??

The only option as I said no one in the uk does it most dont know how the A2 FSI works, Once again Germans are in front the fact we are all driving Audi, BMW and VW confirms it lets face it what do we actually make???

Did you have a read up on the pro boost its a very bespoke map designed by them specifically for the a2 fsi system. It's not a simple power increase map it doesn't increase power. It completely alters the way the fsi system works you need to read up on it to fully understand it it will save me an hour of typing trying to explain it😭

I feel I need to tell you all about my recent brush with both the UK Audi a2oc and the German a2 owners club. Firstly the UK club I asked a simple question but like a bunch of mp's they skirted around the question with unrelated subjects 2 members even tried to sell me an expensive item I don't need??? When I pushed for an answer to my original question they got upset and closed my account very childish I thought 😭. Now to the German site, Well what a completely different bunch I joined there site because I need to get the pro boost ECU (not available in the uk) within hours I got exactly what I asked for and more with offers from their members to take in my ECU and get it to pro boost then post it back to me with no financial gain (Yes I will be paying for there time) What can I say but Come on British what the hell are we playing at!!!!

Pro boost engineering do a plug and play ecu remap that does away with intake flaps,egr,and nox ect No one in the uk does that. Have a read on the uk A2 owners club site they have about 30 pages about it just google audi a2 pro boost. PS if you know of a uk firm that does the same as pro boost engineering let me know would be a few beers in it if you do,

Just been looking at the A2 owners club site it seems they Don't condone the removal of EGR ect yet I see one of there members sells the pro boost through the club. The a2 pro boost does exactly that. Is anyone here a member of the A2 owners club site as well could you ask them how they reinstall the EGR operation to the pro boost map or are they just breaking their own rules

Hi as my inlet flaps need a rebuild I want to do the PRO BOOST ecu map instead, Before I take my ecu out and post it off to germany to get it mapped I was wondering if anyone out there has one lying around thats already been done and would like to pass it on, Let me know asap please.

Hi Pipe I think is about 38mm. Have found this on ebay 296994527233 The seller does'nt know what its made from and not interested in finding out (strange man) For £40 one would think metal of some sort as the plastic ones are about a tenner

Thanks the mgzt v6 is another they have a pipe and thermostat housing available in alloy. All down to cost at the end of the day in our throw away society. I have an engineer that makes me bits once in a while will maybe send him a plastic one to see what he thinks

Will have a look at the wires you suggested, Watch this space will let you know.

Will try that again with new keyboard😁 Brother has all the diagnostic kit getting him to bring it over is the challenge. Is that better👍😁

Hey don't shoot me down!! Death pipe is what the the bunch over on the A2 owners club and other sites call it (Not me) I assumed you all called it that I'm new to the A2 FSI just looking for help and advice please don't jump on me with For goodness sake it's only leaking coolant pipe!! That's not much help to me or anyone else

Audi number is 032121065b If you want to google it. Its a pain of a job to do so only want to do it once hence the metal one if I can find one, Have a good weekend,

That should have said another challenge keyboard playing up sorry folks,

Yes my brother has all the diagnostic kit betty him to bring it over is an challenge

Audi number is 032121065b If you want to google it. Its a pain of a job to do so only want to do it once hence the metal one if I can find one, Have a good weekend,

Yeah will do, I did read somewhere it relocks itself if it does'nt register a door being opened will have to look if the dash display shows the door open. Thanks for your reply have a good weekend

Hi All yet another gremlin my central locking will every minute or so lock the doors even with the key in ignition will carry on doing this until battery is flat. So far been lucky as two keys Would flat fob batteries be a cause??? Very greatful for any input please.

I see you have the A3 Its the A2 that runs hotter I dont think the A3's and Golfs ect suffer the same
