So I was currently Stage 1 APR tune with an APR intake and have drove my R for 5000 miles with no problem. I Installed a Milltek downpipe on it yesterday (Monday 6/29) and had an appointment to have it tuned at my nearest APR dealer (150 miles away) tomorrow (Wednesday 7/1). I called APR tech support before I even installed the downpipe and asked if it was okay to drive it that distance to have it tuned and whoever helped me said "yeah no worries". Long story short I was heading there tonight to visit family and have it tuned tomorrow morning, well I got on the freeway and made it about a mile, literally a mile, before my car lost all boost and starting billowing white smoke.
I limped it back home and hooked my VCDS tool to it and there are no fault codes present other than the emissions code from having a catless downpipe. I data logged it and there is no change in absolute pressure with RPM, and RPM is consistent and motor runs smooth so I'm ruling out a bad cylinder. So I'm curious if anyone has seen this issue before because now I have a new MK7 R with a blown turbo and a lot of questions.
Any advise on what to do would be great, maybe some info from someone at APR? I'm not looking for a handout, just help.
Thanks. :thumbup:
Also, I was not hard on the car, just a constant speed of 75 MPH on the freeway. Wasn't under load when it went.
