I see now why I don't have that problem because I have the injector duty wire hooked up instead of rpm.  It's one or the other and since I was concerned about runnning out of injector head room I chose that one.  The unit needs rpm input to do the gear based learning, I think that's how it works.

correct!

hahaha dude you got a small ****n head...where as I got a big ****n head......dont think it will fit !!! :P  

I want to get my own one anyways....plus I got a mate who has a few motorbike helmets I can borrow....as long as its a full face helmet it should be right eh ?

haha i thought that might be the case..

Yeah any bike helmet would be good enough :D

thanks! :(

Yeah i dont know what it is - Im thinking of turning off the learn mode and running for a while without it.. Does it still boost and hold fine on yours? any bad spiking from it?

One other thing I noticed which may or may not make a difference is that one of the hoses (i think still connected - the one that bleeds off air) has a doughnut shaped piece of metal inside the hose that looks like its supposed to restrict the flow of air or something? The hole in it is very small, alot smaller than the width of the hose - have you got the same thing?

I don't have this restrictor or whatever it is.

I am getting spikes for 2 reasons. One my solenoid is all the way over the other side of the car with a ridiculous amount of hose back to the other side.

Two, I haven't gotten around to tuning the spike out. I think I know how to but just haven't done it yet.

Hey!!!! I think Ive fixed all the problems I had!! - Adam you were right it was definitely the tune :cheers:

I sat down and read the whole manual for the first time, I wish I did before!

:chairshot

It turns out there was some settings that I should have had adjusted but didnt know:

1. The N/E Point for the RPM was monitoring from 3000 - 6500 RPM, and the car winds out to about 6600-6700 before the gear change - so after 6500 it wasnt monitoring the boost anymore! thats why it was going crazy... I set it to monitor 3500 - 7000 and it doesnt spike anymore

2. The Feedback speed I suspect wasnt set fast enough.. it was on 3 - I set it to 5 and I already instead of spiking to 1.28 bar it wont go over .90 - i dont know if the speed being too fast can cause any damage so i dont want to turn it up too much

Plus the car wasnt hitting .90 very quickly - it would only start to hit that boost at very high RPM - in the manual it also told me that 4 Speed A/T cars need to have the gear setting for 5th set to 1... I put that down and now the car hits .90 alot earlier and stays there - no spiking at all!

very happy now! :uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
