ACV boost pressure increase via SMD

Hello!

I've just read through the articles because I want to increase the turbo boost on my 2.5 TDI ACV engine by about 0.1 bar. Now the question is, is this possible with this engine control unit, on an engine without a variable geometry turbocharger (VTG)? It's a T4 model from 2001. Has anyone done this before, and are there any relevant experiences or insights available?

Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,
What type of engine control unit (ECU) is installed in your ACV (Audi A2 1.4)? Is it an MSA15 or an EDC15?
The boost pressure sensor for the MSA15 (ET number ending in 021x) is still located in the control unit.
and you can find the instructions somewhere around here.
With the newer models that use an external sensor, you could try adding a parallel resistor.
Attempt to access the STG input.

Best regards, Rudi.

Thank you, I'll start working on the control unit right away. (Afternoon)

Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,
If you're already getting a diagnosis, would you like to...?
Let's see where your air mass is going (under load).
The dosage should be around 1250mg.

Thank you.

Rudi.

Thank you, but I can't promise whether I'll be able to do it today. Okay, I will post everything then, thank you.

Greetings, Peter.

Hello!

Having studied the wiring diagrams of my T4, and unfortunately not yet having had the opportunity to do a test run, I have come to the following conclusion. The combined temperature and pressure sensor for the intake manifold has four connections. The pressure sensor (labeled G71) has two connections that go to the control unit: red/green to terminal T121/31 and blue/black to terminal T121/71. Which entrance are you describing?

Hi Peter,

Hi everyone!

Today, I finally conducted a measurement run. The ECU number is: 074 906 018C. I don't know which specific control unit is being referred to, nor whether it's possible to increase the boost pressure in the way we're discussing. I would appreciate your help with this.

I'm having trouble understanding the values displayed for the LMM (likely referring to a mass airflow meter or similar). In measurement block 003, two LMM values are shown, but they are different. What's surprising is the fluctuation. For example, the value is 580mg/Re at 2200 RPM, and immediately after, at 2300 RPM, it's 350mg/Re. How is that possible? The specified target value of 1250 under load is never reached. Perhaps I can send someone the Excel spreadsheet. I'm just not quite understanding all of this. The boost pressure was 959 mbar of air pressure at 100% load, with a maximum of 2020 mbar, which means a maximum boost pressure of 1.06 bar. Is that correct? Isn't that a little too little???


Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,

The engine control unit is an EDC15. The boost pressure sensor is external.
Your turbocharger boost pressure is more likely to be too high than too low. The performance chart indicates...
as a maximum, it should fit within 1845 characters; however, it's possible that it will exceed this limit after formatting/corrections by the insurance company.
'you might get more out of it (you should check out that group sometime).'
011 - View field 2 (Should), field 3 (Is); my documentation is for ACV.
indicates 1950 as the maximum... Sea level ).
Air mass: Field 2 - Setpoint, Field 3 - Actual value. Depending on how badly the EGR valve is damaged,
Do you have more or fewer (usually more) large deviations?
The ACV (presumably referring to a specific device or system) that I am responsible for is not exceeding a value of 850mg.
(but still runs 190 ).
Why don't you post your logs sometime?

Best regards, Rudi.

Target values according to the table:
Air mass in mg/H: 800...950
Intake manifold pressure: 1700...1950

The AGR (Abgasrückführung) is currently not functioning properly . The question now is whether the logged value** at 100% load, with 2020 mBar, is an overshoot or a constant value. Unfortunately, I couldn't do a sustained full-load run because things are being checked quite strictly here at the moment . Perhaps I could reduce the injection amount slightly, then it shouldn't produce as much soot at full load (it's minimal, but it bothers me).

Thank you for the response.

Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,
The boost pressure values are overshooting.
The state of momentum can be recognized quite well when you...
A longer measurement run will then allow us to determine the boost pressure.

The air mass values could originate from 'my' ACV.
Sure, here's the translation:

'Also, nothing above 850.'

Hello Rudi!

What conclusions should I draw from all of this? Is everything okay??? Even though the target values are not being reached??? How does this work with the EDC15 system? Is it possible to increase the boost pressure by installing a resistor on the sensor? Has anyone had experience with this?
@ Rudi

Have you ever adjusted the fuel injection amount? How do the values need to be changed to achieve an increase or decrease in the quantity?

Thank you for the information.

Peter.

Hello Peter,

What am I supposed to conclude from all of this? Is everything okay??? Although the target values are not being reached?

Good question. What surprises me is that, with your ACV, the air mass is also lower than it should be.
Perhaps there are other ACV drivers here who might want to check this out.

'How does this work with the EDC15 system? Is it possible to increase the boost pressure by installing a resistor on the sensor?'

Should.

> Has anyone had experience with this?

Unfortunately, I can't.

Have you ever adjusted the fuel injection amount?



How do the values need to be changed to achieve an increase or decrease in quantity?

You go to the corresponding fields and adjust the values.
Correct the checksums and upload the new dataset to the control unit.
If you're already accessing the software, you can adjust the boost pressure there as well.
with change.

Best regards, Rudi.

Hello Rudi!

I knew that the fuel injection amount could be adjusted to a small extent, but the boost pressure? Unfortunately, I'm a novice in this area and I don't want to experiment too much, but rather make definitive changes. Can you tell me the channels for both values? I'm sure I've seen this somewhere before, and I might have even printed it out, but I have no idea where I put it now (we're renovating the apartment, so it's a mess).

I believe the login was 11463 or something? Unfortunately, the values in the channels often don't have a direct correlation to the desired actual values. From what I've seen, increasing a value sometimes results in a decrease, while the same action can sometimes lead to an increase. That's why I'm a bit unsure about it. Please, I'm asking for a little help, after all, I never stop learning .

Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,
I think we might have misunderstood each other a little bit .
I didn't mean the adaptation channels, but rather modifying the characteristic maps.
in the chip (short for chip tuning).

Best regards, Rudi.

Hello Rudi!

Well, that's where my technical expertise ends. I know that my engine control unit is flashable, that's for sure. A new software version has already been installed in the engine control unit. Since then, there has also been soot visible under full load. I assume that the fuel injection amount and the ignition timing have been changed. If I could find someone to install a proper software on it, I could probably avoid all these problems . I will now install a boost pressure gauge and then connect a potentiometer to the boost pressure sensor and try to slightly increase the boost pressure until the soot disappears. However, I only want to increase the pressure by a maximum of 0.2 bar, as I don't want to have to buy a new turbocharger.

I'm also considering bidding on an engine control unit (ECU) on eBay, just in case the original one doesn't work properly. I almost think that whoever installed the software for me back then at Vau Weh might have installed the wrong version. Could that be possible?

Greetings, Peter.

Hello Peter,
You wrote that your engine control unit (ECU) is a 074 906 018C. Read with VAG-COM?
074 906 018C would be for an ACV. It would also be interesting to know the software version.
If possible, could you please post the entire 'startup message'?

Best regards, Rudi.
