    Hey all,

    I got a weird problem with the Zeeee.

    She runs perfectly, though it feels like on cold start, after warmed to about 60degrees, it feels laggy/sluggish between 1500-2000RPM...

    I goes away once warmed up, and sometimes just doesnt happen at all :confused:

    But when it happens it only last for the first 10min of driving.

    Car still hits full boost, and drives beautifully otherwise.

    Car is a 1995 TT Manual.

    What you all think?

    Thanks.

    Sure your getting

    Full boost?
    Just went through the same exercise with mine,
    thought mine was getting a bit sluggish, give it a couple of hit outs only to find i was only getting 15lb instead of the normal 20lb of boost,
    Done a boost leak test to find the balance tube was loose on one side and the spring clips on the idle air control valve weren't holding, fixed both,
    Car now has all it's mojo back again.:D

    Yeah still 12 psi.

    It happening at low RPM only on cold starts, nothing much to do with pounding her really.

    IMO you shouldn't be boosting from a cold start anyway:eek:

    Hahaa let me start again as THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BOOST, I'AM NOT BOOSTING AT ALL LET ALONE PASSING 3000RPM...

    My car just feels as though it is sluggish on some occasions for the first 5-10min of driving after I have warmed the car up to atleast 50degrees BEFORE I start to drive.

    Between 1300 and 3000RPM it just feels as though I'am driving with the handbreak up for a few seconds.

    This happens randomally though so I have no idea why. Once the car is at operating temp. she runs perfectly. She hits maximum boost (which I check after she is warm and atleast 20minutes of driving later) and idles etc. great.

    Any ideas?

    I'd just be checking the usual things like TPS setting, clean and tension connectors, specially CTS, FTS and CAS.
