hey everyone,

mate has a stock GTT manual, no mods

told me his boost gauge (stock one) still shows boost at 2.5k rpm but at that amount of revs there is actually no boost at all

he can't feel anything and boost never comes on, says all his piping and wires are done properly and nothing looks wrong

could it be his airflow that's the problem?

actually, he says he LOSES power after 2.5k rpm but the gauge still shows

he's just sms'ing me and i haven't been able to check out his car, anyone have any idea as to how we can diagnose this problem?

any advice would be massively appreciated, cheers!

Andrew

maybe its to do with the turbine ? maybe the fins broke off and lodge somewhere ? could that be a possibility ... remember Brendan

alright everyone, thanks for the advice, i still haven't been able to check out his car but he's told me that it was the air flow and that it was fitted the wrong way!?

he said it's all good now, i thought it was a bit strange lol

thanks all!

Hey mate could even be the actuator if thats stuffed it will let the exausst pressure striaght out

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
