how much does a screamer/dump pipe put up the psi????? i had the stock dump pipe on until this. i drove around with the screamer on for a day and then the next day i hit the limiter and the car would not hit boost at all and it made some rooted diesel tractor noise coming from the screamer......could it be a problem with the wastegate getting stuck on something???? the weird thing is i drove round in it for a little bit and it fixed it self. hit boost prety high...well higer than usual....should be at about 1 bar and full boost was at about 1.3 bar which it never did before this screamer (not stock turbo by the way)........

It doesn't alter boost - that is the boost controllers job.

And ye - of course its going to sound like a tractor - i assume you've put a dump with screamer on a internally gated turbo... and it's leaking which is what all of the cheap ones do.

Well sad to say it - but you wasted your money by the sounds of it.

sounds like the gate isn't sealing correctly, which isnt a surprise, 9 outta 10 int gate screamers do that... it hurts boost build/response and sounds shit.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
