Stagea Questions

[AMS]

Hey Folks,

Over the past few days the Stag hasn't been its usual self...

The main 'obvious' thing is when the turbo is hitting full boost (spikes to 12 then sits flat at 10psi) but you havnt got your foot flat, just enough for it to hit full boost, the turbo is cutting in and out... Sought of a bumping basically. When the foot is flat to the floor it will just hit 10 psi and sit flat, doesnt cut in and out...

Now, what the hell is it? Kinda annoying me...Anything serious? Or just a minor issue? Has only been doing it since we installed the bleed valve.

Cheers Guys,

Chris

PS - Would this be solved if I were to install the Jaycar Gear?

Just the normal ECU rich and retard strategy when you increase the boost, have a read of the DFA and IEBC thread.

Got the same idiosyncrasy (sic) on mine after I installed a Powerup MBC. It spikes to 11psi when you stab the fun flipper then it settles back to 10.

An R33 mate reckons it is b/c of the length of tube running to the MBC is too long and turbo is overboosting ( as per my setting ) before the MBC registers and actuates the wastegate.

Dont know if this is true or not, but it doesnt seem to worry it at all and I havent popped any hoses yet.

But it is all the more reason for me to get that Jaycar IEBC sooner then later.

OK Guys! More Help needed.

Right, my old man was driving my car, about 3000rpm just starting to spool hard and "Psssssttttt" kinda like a blow off valve. Didnt sound right though, so we pulled over to see whats the problem. popped the hood and gave it a rev. Turbo isnt spooling anymore! Not at all! I think I may have blown a hose somewhere given the noise. Please please help me. Cannot drive it in its current state

Cheers,

Chris

My first guess would be an intercooler hose has blown off, check them all.
