911 turbo down on boost?
I just bought a 2002 911 turbo, tiptronic.
it is only making .4 to .5 BAR boost, and feels slow? I'm counting like 6+ seconds to 60mph. what could be wrong? is there a valet mode or something I'm missing? Just filled up with 93 octane shell. car is mint, low miles, so must be something stupid.
please help!

I think everyone who owns a turbo car should LEARN to test the turbo pressure lines. It is simple. I searched this forum and I think "zippy" posted a DYI for this.
You just plug one end of the turbo before it goes into the IC on one side and then make a TEE with an air hose fitting along with a pressure gauge fitting on the other side. This is all PVC stuff---real simple. Get your compressor to make 12 or so psi, verify it on the pressure gauge of the Tee and start listening. I used a spray bottle with soapy water and YOU DON~T want to know what I found!!! well maybe you do----my DV`s were leaking like an Irishman after ST PattY`s day.........EVERYONE should be doing this esp on higher boost cars OR you can pay the dealer to do a "smoke test" for 150 per hour

I have a 2003 TT (non-X50) with the only modifications being a K & N Filter and a Techart racing exhaust.
I am consistently getting .9 BAR boost. Is this normal? I feel like it's pretty good considering X-50s are getting .8 and .9 BAR. Am I wrong?

if your running a non-x50 setup, you should be getting around .7 bars. your car was flashed.

Even with the K & N Filter and the Techart Racing Exhaust?
I would have thought that these two would have added boost from the typical .6 or .7 that a stock TT would get.
