My R32 Gts-t.

[cherp]

what happens is..

no acceleration..

hear turbo winding..

cant get over 2.5 revs or it starts jolting.. like its getting acceleration then loosing it quickly.

Does it 1/6 times i drive the car..

* When i bought the car it did this. He said it was a wiring problem on the AFM, wich it may be.. cause u play with the wiring and the car cuts off*

Just woundering what else this might be caused from if its not the wiring?

Hmmm.....sounds like limp home mode for a faulty AFM, won't let you rev past 2500rpm. My experience was exactly the same, happened fairly infrequently......at first. I killed mine thanks to the use of some normal silcon for a seal between the the AFM and the airfilter. The silcon was not "sensor safe". I know now better!

Is it auto or manual?

Sounds like your has blown a cooler piping. Check all the piping to make sure they haven't popped off, reason its surging above 2500rpm is because it builds boost, but the boost doesn't reach the intake manifold as it leaks out somewhere in the piping, then the car over fuels and start surging.

Thats my theory, check the simple things first.

If its not that, then chack AFM.

EDIT: Just re-read your post, does sound more like the AFM than anything. But check all things to be sure.

Try borrowing a friends afm and see if there's any difference. If it's not that, do what abu has suggested. Check piping.

Yep thats a good idea actually!

See if that works, saves you buying one and that not being the problem.

You could probably source a 2nd hand one from the forums for fairly cheap. Will keen an eye on the for sale section. If I see one I will post up the for sale thread link.

Yeah thats good. I reckon AFMs are more trouble then they are worth.

A MAP sensor would be much more reliable in that sense.

Well thats my personal opinion anyways lol
