I slapped $20 in (was on the red) from a Mobil servo down near cross roads that I have never used before.

The initial drive back home which is a couple of km's was ok the car felt normal responsive etc.

NOW..

The next time I took it out at first it was ok then I went to hit boost coming up flagstaff hill road and noticed that it felt very flat.. As if boost wasn't being made, I looked down at the boost guage and sure enough it was making plenty of boost near 15psi.

It feels like there is almost no difference between 5 and 15psi.

I then pulled over and checked out a few things but all seemed in order.

I then took off on standard boost (11psi) and what it feels like is it is really flat then all of a sudden on 11psi it sort of takes off but feels like it is hesitating slightly. I can't hear any pinging and timing is at standard.

help... :P

yeh id say fuel as well

my car ran in a similar way when i drove on the fuel which had been sitting in the tank for a month cos the car had been off the road. i also ran a bottle of injector cleaner through the next tank, may be coincedental but it made a fair bit of difference...

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
