So my g/f bought me one of these for xmas

http://www.performance-wise.net/USERIMAGES/CAPP53%20GTS%20%20SCUTION%20KIT%20.JPG

installed it yesterday...but as i was driving i noticed that sometimes the revs would go up, but there was no boost, and then the car lost all power and steering and just stalled then rolled to a stop.

Id put the old pipe back on but i split it >_<, i read somewhere it could be to do with the BOV circulation.....but i only have the stock one.

can someone just check ive connected it all correctly.

yup yup looks good to me, +1 for checking clamps, i changed my turbo and left 1 clamp loose which caused it to pop off the cooler pipe which then wouldnt lt it boost over 2psi and run like a bucket of shit + stalled. stalling and poor driving can also be affected by the standard bov as its held open very slighty on idle when vacuume is at its maximum however this does not have any effect as long as the bov is plumbed back into the intake as yours is. maybe check your afm clamps and insure the silicone joiners are making a good tight seal and not allowing excess air to enter after the afm. thats all i can really think of for now, other than that i guess make sure the afm didnt get accidently damaged when you installed the new intake pipe or is dirty :thumbsup:

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
