I think you're confused about what different terms mean.

Lag (when most people around here use the term) is "waiting for boost". That may be "waiting for boost" when you are at lower revs than the turbo will spool up to - ie, the engine must accelerate naturally aspirated until there is enough exhaust flow to spool the turbo up. Or it might be "waiting for boost" when you have been off throttle, say going through a corner, but the revs are high enough to make boost - when you put the foot back down the delay before it starts making boost is lag. That latter one is the real and only true definition of lag, as originally applied to truly laggy turbo cars like the first Porsche turbos. Lag was a killer back then - you'd come out of a corner, put your foot down and wait and wait and wait and they the car would explode onto boost, swap ends and try to kill you in the scenery.

Anyway, the car not making boost until 3000rpm or so is normal, and as long as it doesn't fart and carry on before it comes onto boost, then everything is fine.

A BOV SHOULD NOT VENT TO ATMOSPHERE if you have an Air Flow Meter (AFM). The car will not like it. The AFM measures the air flow while you're on boost. Then you let the throttle off and the BOV let's a lot of that air out. The ECU doesn't know the air is gone and continues to put the fuel into the engine. This causes, at the least, shitty fuel rich running, and can and will cause the engine to stall - to actually stop running. This is a shitful situation and can be avoided by simply not running a venting BOV.

The BOV is not involved in "lag" at all, so forget about it

ok thanks. I will try to get a recirculation pipe going back to the turbo inlet. and see the difference.

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
