Turbotech Manual Boost Control Problems

[pitoui]

Hooked up turbotech boost controller in correct manner, car seems to be cutting out/splattering

Have a 1995 R33 gts-t, has anyone had similar problems? Anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.

what boost you running? or trying to run?

[pitoui]

Installing a gauge tomorrow so don't know exactly what boost. But tried screwing it all the way in and out and still no difference.

def install a guage before you start stuffin round setting it. sure you have it the right way round n in the line 2 the wastegate? ball isnt jammed in the bottom or something silly like that?

i cant believe you would screw it in all the way to see what would happen.

damn man! that would seriously do some bad ass damage to your engine! those turbotechs are savage when bringing theboost on and they work.

it was probly running 25psi or something silly like that.

take to get it dyno'd and check the afr's as well because you could stuff your engine otherwise.

also buy some bcpr7es spark plugs and gap them to .8 before you go there.

No worries, thanks for the help, I'll just keep it in for now and not boost it. Definately will buy a gauge tomorrow.

if you like your car dyno it.

[black_gtst]

you do know screwing it in increases boost and out decreases? if you dont have a guage screw it out!

i can't beleive you installed and tested the boost controller without a boost guage! you could seriously do some damage to your engine.

your car is likely to splutter due to ecu fuel cut because of free boost or very high boost. remove the controller and ensure you install a boost guage before you start fine tuning the boost controller, otherwise you may damage your engine.

also, i wouldn't advise running more than 12PSI without a dyno tune because your car may lean out.

cheers,

dave.

Yeah I definately stuffed up, I know that the more you screw it in the more boost you will get.

I took it out now, it's running stock boost.

I've run into another problem though, as soon as the car hits 5000 revs and over it sorta dies in the ass. I think it may be leaking boost or something. It's been doing this since I installed my front mount. Has it got anything to do with my HKS SSQ BOV?

fmic's will do this

[pitoui]

Yeah thanks mate.

Do you know any possible fix to this without pulling out the front mount?

Peter G - please use the search function.

It covers all the basic things apart from your own errors (things like not using a boost gauge when adjusting boost).

Thanks.
