Hi people,



Newish owner of a Gen 3 an God I love it.



Now the problem.



Car is absolutley stock standard except boost gauge.



Ever since I got the car it has trouble with idle when it gets warm. Temp gauge does not move but it is always in traffic or going slow.



The problem is that in neutral I turn on the A/C and the revs go up, Normal.

I turn the A/C off and the revs go down, Normal. I then push in the clutch, no effect, I put it in gear and the revs go up, normal.



Now If I have the A/C on and then put it in gear, the revs drop and can sometimes stall.



If I then drive on a long stretch of raod and get some good cooling, the car returns to normal, ie idle in gear A/C on all OK. So I am guessing it is temperature related.



Problem 2 (Probably related) when the car is warm, ie in traffic again, it will not pull under load in any gear until it hits 3000RPM. If I back off a little it goes OK.



The boost is fine, if I do floor it (WOT) it stumbles but the boost goes to 10PSI so I gather it is not that.



Any suggestions to the above would be greatfuly received.



BTW I am located in Sydney Australia. Not many parts and wow are they expensive.



Thanks
