since I fitted the 3" dump pipe, when I go full throttle to the redline I get a pop/miss between about 5000rpm and 6000rpm, then it smoothes out and revs freely to the redline.

If I use half to 3/4 throttle it revs smoothly to redline without any problems.

Any idea what might be causing this and what I need to do to resolve?

That would be boost cut (or excessive air flow cut as it is properly known...)

Your AFM is maxing out at those revs...

Few solutions... Lean the SAFC out at those revs... Fuel cut defender... Z32 AFM... Less boost... 0.8mm gap on the plugs may help but I doubt it in this case...

hmmm....OK....will have a look at the plugs first, but the previous owner reckons they are iridiums and gapped to 0.7

If that doesn't help I'll clean the AFM coz it looks pretty dirty (what about removing the mesh?....you think that would help?)

THEN I will try lowering the boost a tad, and if all else fails have the SAFC retuned on a dyno by someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks for the info Adrian

well thats what my problem was, couple of solutions for different problems there :D

Yeah, thanks....I think I'll change the plugs to some plain old NGK coppers anyway and see if that helps.

Has anyone tried the electrical tape on the coil packs trick I read in a thread somewhere which is supposed to resolve some coil issues?

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
