Hey guys,
I'm all the way from Norway, so you have to excuse me if my language is subpar. Just tuned my car a little, did a simple remap where a dude changed the software of the "brain". I'm not sure what exact remap he used. It worked fine for the first week. Could easily notice the extra torque. My a3 is org a 105bhp and the guy said he could boost it to 135/140bhp and something like 230 newton.
But yesterday something in the engine started making a screeching noise. The sound intensifies apparently when holding and releasing the throttle quickly. I haven't changed anything under the hood, I wasn't under the impression that I needed to for a simple remapping. Should I have changed the turbo? Is the turbo broken? Is it a common thing that a boost like this shortens the lifespan of the turbo? I've only owned the car for 2-3 days, but driven it quite alot. Not even violently, just testing it up a tunnel. Otherwise driving it nicely as I was told the biggest improvement of the remap would come between 1500 and 2000 RMP. Noone that I talk to has had any experience with this kind of noise. It's hard to explain it in writing :/
Hoping for some answers from pro's here
Best regards,
Magnus
