OK here's the deal, i know that this has been convered extensively, but i still need some help. The airpump was removed when my motor was built on my S5 convertible. I dont know if the sleeves were taken out of the engine though. When i'm driving the car, i can make good power at low rpm but once i hit for it's like the rpm's keep going, but i have no power. What should i do to try and fix this?

 

search for an "electronic 6pi" what works is getting a lumbar pump from a ford and ussing that pump to oppen the actuators to the ports, i was going to do that so i got the pump and everything, went to do it and i noticed my 6th port was snapped.... so now i have to take off the LIM and put new sleaves in there..... fun wow

 

Thanks for the help!!

 

If the sleeves where gone, there would be no problem.

 

do the electric conversion, I did and I dont have to worry about the backpressure/airpump crap anymore.

 

or you could do what adam/mazdaspeed7, myself and a few others have done; full removal of the 6PI system. the general consensus is that the car doesnt lose significant bottom end over working 6PI but gains notably more power in the mid and top end, especially w/ working VDI still.
