Had an auto 34 neo DET come in today with a suspected blown turbo. Wont make boost and a very loud howl from the turbo.

After pulling the intake off the turbo i found this d3156d94.jpg

I first thought WTF. This thing was jammed in the turbo really tight. After some investigation i found its actually from the pod filter 7be2058e.jpg

This car had a fair few issue's, had to fit splitfires to fix an ignition breakdown and error code, then the fuel pump was lazy so upgraded to a walbro and beefed up the wiring.

End result was 185kw 13psi with stock ecu

note to self...dont buy a cheap POD?

or one that has parts smaller than the intake pipe. lol

It broke the element in the AFM too.

Was this with the factory Ecu untouched? No r&r?

Yes stock ecu. On 13 psi it lost a bit down low so on 12 psi is perfect.

pretty much on the same note - I have refused to tune many cars running a "drift" filter.

there is 500rpm lag difference and under full load, I saw some massive differences in AFR. This was with a powerfc though.

Anyway, this guy got off lucky!

What cars do you tune all the things parts you say I won't tune a car with that by saying that you remove 99% of skyline drivers I'm interested what cars do you tune?

My List:

Drift air filters

Malapsi FPRs

SARD FPRs

Ebay Turbos

Turbos that cannot be identified

Cars that fail compression and leak down tests

Happy now?
