smoke??

[Fly_With_Sky]

true true, any smoke pour out of the exhuast.

Have a look at the turbo to see if it might be leaking some oil or anything.

[Jsikalias]

nah i dont know if there was smoke cumin out when it happend but deffenetly not when it idels or driving normal and there is no sign of oil in the exuaghst or metal....

what would it of been :S any more ideas

[Jsikalias]

this is what i have done to my car... its got 10psi, GFB boost controler, supra twin turbo fuel pump.... stock ecu... n stock everything else i think it might of been the ecu???? what ya think

[Jsikalias]

if i blew the turbo wouldnt it be running 0psi....and also when i was booting it for abit it was spiking to 12psi would that be a problem too?? i hope i didnt blow it or im ***t....

[Fly_With_Sky]

not sure, might be justt be mising in that gear, shitty fuel dont really know.

If it happens again or if your really worried then let your mechanic look at it or something...

oh and if its spiking at 12psi maybe you should put your boost back to standard until you get a full exhuast and fmic so your turbo isnt working harder than it should.

[Jsikalias]

okay kool thankz for trying to help me man...

[Jsikalias]

i got a trust exaughst but its not to the turbo its to the cat... so yeh

no

im sure some guys with more experience will give you a better possibility

When you say backfiring do you mean like a keybanger type backfire or just a miss that creates a bit of a pop through the exhaust?

It may just be the spark breaking down.

[Jsikalias]

it was a pop wasnt that loud and it lugged untill i reached 5000rpm this only happend in 2nd :S for some reason

[Jsikalias]

iv changed the spark plugs like 6 months ago....duunnoo im confused

[Cubes]

Do a little bit of a search on the nasty little 'coil problem'

[Jsikalias]

could u plz tell me where the coil is located in the engine

[PlasticStan]

There's one on top of each spark plug :

Seems to be a common problem on gts-t's.

[yogi000]

try running stock boost and see if it happens.....then take from there.....re gap sparkies....check coils.....and so on.
