someone help me fix my car please :(

[dAVE]

i posted this in general, but u guys r way more helpful..

Havent been driving lately, but yesterday, i took her out and something weird was happening....

now, my boost normally hits 8 psi up till 4500 rpm then steps up to 11psi.

yesterday, it wasnt stepping up at all in any gear, and sometimes it would only hit 7psi, then sometimes 9psi etc. first gear felt alright apart from the lack of boost, but all other gears felt really really flat.. like a big dead spot.

i also noticed my BOV isnt fluttering anymore and sound has changed a bit ...

all hoses / pipes seem to be on OK... anyone can help??

cheers,

dave..

thanks.. im desperate.. really need my car tomoz!

might be a loose hose somewhere

Come On Peoples Any one Have an Idea??

[akeenan]

check your bov isnt loose all the springs and stuff! thats what the other guy said, seems like a good idea to me

[skyline33]

check all your intercooler piping

[dAVE]

checked piping and seems all fine... my bov is on with a circlip and dont have any circlip pliers here so cant pull it apart.. what i can do is make my car just run a straight 8 psi.. will try that and see how it goes.. got no where to test at the moment.. traffic is farken shocking here.

[akeenan]

keep at it! if you spend long enough your sure to find the problem, i hate problems

[dAVE]

i got no space and no tools here.. doesnt help me much... may take it to work on monday and tell them to fix it .. but i'd rather NOT pay.

sounds like there is a leak in one of the piping hoses... thats what was happening to me after i took all the pipes off and put em back on again... the hose was not quite on right and boost was all over the place.

if not... what are u using to up the boost?

[dAVE]

my ecu seems to do it.. so when i unplug the factory boost solenoid it just sits at 8psi...

all the pipes look tight.. and nothing in the eng bay has been changed... and car was running perfect on thursday night (apart from the lack of fuel)...... then friday its gone dodgy...

check the wires on the stock boost solenoid, or better just chuck a bleed valve in there and then u wont get that 2 satge boost crap

i had an ebc in there, but when it hit 12psi at 3000rpm i couldnt keep traction...
