hi all, got a new turbo put in ran fine for a bit then came up with a problem, it hit's 14-16 (tuned to 18) psi and the gauge goes crazy between them but it just doesn't pull like it used to. i took it back to the mechanics and they said it was a leaking manifold gasket and replaced that now it's starting to happen again a week later. any ideas? looks like i got powerfc syndrome as well so could it be caused by that?

surprisingly he was really nice about all this and offered to fix it, guess my anxiety got me stressed for nothing, thanks for all the advice but guys!! edit: he played around with power fc and fixed the knocking and the high idle, but he reckons a gasket could be leaking now so he's gonna check that out

i've already paid for the turbo what else can i do? he has to put it in and retune it for free if he's ripped me off yeh? i might as well get it done there then get it looked over with another mechanic unless there's another way i can do this :S

i havn't really played around with the power fc i'm pretty scared of changing any settings, it looks like it was going up to 4 bars on the digital display and i could feel it when driving, too scared to start the engine now don't want to wreck any more will get it towed to him tomorrow morning and hopefully it goes well, he told me the engine will look stock but he said nothing about changing the gtx3071 and putting it inside the stock turbo i thought he meant he was going low mount so if i did get pulled over a quick glance at the engine bay won't be able to see the turbo

also if the problems have been caused by him am i required to pay for it?

so basically because the housing is a lot smaller it wrecks all the potential of it? it knocks up and down by a few bars

power fc shows the knock go up, it feels as if a piston is missing and the driving isnt that smooth (didnt boost at all when it started to happen and continued to happen) but what do i know i'm not that good with cars is there anything he can say back to me to try weasel his way out of it? just so i'm prepared for excuses if it happens thanks

sorry for double post but i had paid 2.8k for the turbo so it can't of been right just realised i could edit woops :S sorry no fuel pump on receipt

it's a small turbo with nissan on it, i ordered a gtx3071 and i compared it to the size of my friends gt3076 and it's half the size. the stock turbo was hitting 18 psi my phone cameras broken i got one photo i'll try get some more when my friend comes over http://i.imgur.com/6M8a4vk.jpg i asked him for a garrett and he recommended the gtx3071 so i said i'll go with that, on the receipt he put stealth garrett gtx3071 kit. he couldn't get any further than 330hp and this is the list of parts i had gotten gtx3071 sard 740cc injectors power fc 3" dump pipe 300zx afm i can tell the afm and power fc is in and my friend told me that the spooling sound will be caused by the dump pipe also do you guys think it's safe to drive to him? it'll be about an hour drive in peak hour tomorrow or should i get it towed. i really can't afford to have heaps more problems

hi all, i got a new turbo put in (or so i thought) and fuel pump, injectors, afm and ecu + tune a few days after a clamp blew off on my intercooler piping (where the old bov used to be) and my spark plugs ended up burning out. i called mechanic and he told me to change the spark plugs (which i did and it worked) i noticed my idle sitting a bit high. i went to reconnect my boost gauge and boost controller since they blew off as well and noticed the mechanic (i ordered the turbo through him as well) had left the stock turbo on . been meaning to call him and ask him wtf is going on since i don't want to be jipped out of a garrett and now it's starting to cause engine knock. does anyone have any good advice on how i could go about this situation? i got it on the invoice that i had paid for a garrett and i can't tell what would be causing the knocking and if it could be related to anything he's done? any help much appreciated thanks

hi all let my friend drive my car for a bit and he managed to blow my clutch was wondering if anyone knows of a gregorys manual for a r33 gtst or of a good guide to install a new clutch yourself, really can't afford to pay for a mechanic to get it done so was hoping to this myself thanks
