Hey Guys,
I hate AFMs, they hate me too, ever since my early R32 days i have had nothing but trouble with them.
After 6 months of owning the Stagea my first AFM failed, didnt think much of it then and replaced it with a second hand one which came from a Stagea that had 21,000Km on it. 2 months later it blows again. At this stage i thought maybe its got to do with the blocked BOV plate, so i put it back to completely std and bought another second hand one, 2 weeks later it blows too !
What could be causing this to happen, when the cars only mod is a slightly larger exhaust? 2 of the times it blew it happened as I was under full standard boost and 100% throttle.
In between the first and second AFM i also bouught one from the US brand new, the part nunber is supposed to be the same however once boost comes on it dumps a shite load of fuel, shudders and blows black smoke. COntacted the supplier and they said they sent me the right one, but i think this is more for a VQ30DE or something like that non-turbo.
Any ideas what could caused it to blow AFM after AFM?
Cheers
