Hello!

I recently converted my T4 ACV, manufactured in 1997, from a wastegate system to a variable turbine geometry (VTG) system.
Also, please also have the STG (Steuergerät) converted from MSA12 to MSA15.
The intake manifold of the new turbocharger (2003 version) also has a bypass valve attached. This valve allows the engine to shut down gently using vacuum.
It would be very appealing to connect them if I already have them.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find a pinout diagram for the MSA15.
Alternatively, I would like to build something to actuate the flap using the ignition signal. Of course, I want to do it in a way that won't give me headaches later if something goes wrong.
Has anyone ever done this before?

Thank you! icon_biggrin.gif

Hi,

Please check what happens at pin 53 when the device is turned off.

Best regards, Rainer.
