Adjust VTG Without VAG Tool

Hello everyone,

I'd be interested to know if you have any tips on how to properly adjust the VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) without using a VAG tool or a boost pressure gauge.

I came up with something, but I'm not sure if it will work.

2nd gear, going uphill (gradient 10-18%), engine speed approximately 1200 rpm, then full throttle, and noticeable acceleration from around 1800 rpm.

Increasing acceleration before 1800 rpm -->> excessively aggressive VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry).
Increasing acceleration after 1800 rpm indicates a VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) that is open for too long.

What do you think about it?

Greetings from Lake Constance.

P.S.: We have an ASV with an *** chip.

Unfortunately, at that point, it's no longer a setting, but pure guesswork.
In my opinion, it's not suitable for assessing the settling behavior.

Hello Rainer,

Okay, okay... you're right.

How do I properly configure the VTG using the VAG Tool?
