Target
I want to adapt the software 8D0907551K from my RS4 B5 to the new base charge pressure (waste gate cracking pressure) of the new turbochargers. The original waste gate cracking pressure is approximately 400 mBar (6 PSI) and now it is approximately 900 mBar (14 PSI).
Possible solutions
I have read in the forum about four different solutions to made this adjustment. As far as I understand, only the following two solutions are possible in my case:
Solution no.1
Only adjust the vpssplg axis of KFVPDKSD and KFVPDKSE maps.
The KFPLGUB and KFDPLGU maps do not exist in the DAMOS of 8D0907551K. This means that I cannot directly modify the calculation of plgrus_w. However, I know the calculation for vpssplg:
RS4: plgrus_w = Output of KFPLGU/B
vpssplg = pssol_w/plgrus_w. vpssplg is the axis for KFPVDKSE/D
vpssplg = pssol_w/plgrus_w. vpssplg is the axis for KFPVDKSE/D
vpssplg (Druckverhaltnis Saugrohrsolldruck zu Grundladedruck) = pssol_w (Sollsaugrohrdruck) / plgrus_w (Grundladedruck Sollwert).
According to
cracking pressure is ratio = 1
, the axis vpssplg has the value 1 for the base charge pressure. I assume that the original base charge pressure has the value 1400mBar.If I use the assumed original value of 1400mBar for plgrus_w in the calculation and use the new base charge pressure of 1900mBar for pssol_w, I get the following ratio value: 1900mBar / 1400mBar = 1.357142857142857.
The ratio of plgrus_w = 1.357142857142857 therefore corresponds to the new base charge pressure of 1900 mbar.
The values of the axis vpssplg_w of the maps KFVPDKSD and KFVPDKSE multiplied by the factor 1.357142857142857 results in:
In comparison, the original values:
Solution no.2
Only change the KFVPLGU map according to
...First ...get a 3rd gear log of my "base boost pressure" with 0% WGDC. I used that data to fill in the last column of KFVPLGU, and then adjusted the rest of the map to keep the same shape as stock but increased for my new wastegates (15-16 psi). With it set up this way, the ECU knows to control boost under the wastegate pressure with the throttle plate (no need to change the vpssplg_w axis for KFVPDKSD/E).
...KFVPLGU ...I set all the rpm rows before I hit my peak boost to the same value, I'm not sure if I was correct in doing that.. but I haven't noticed any ill effects...

Question to the forum
Do you recommend solution no.1 or no.2 for me? Or is there another solution variant that is better and I'm able to do (please be aware, I'm haven't the skill to change assembler code)?
