Title: Turbo issue
Post by: nikp on April 21, 2005, 11:49:14 AM
Ok, so i\'m going to book my FD in with Pip at WGT, but in the meantime, i thought i\'d post the issue up here, see what people think!

Basically, the problem is that the first time i use the throttle hard once the car has warmed up, the boost gauge indicates 0.7 bar correctly. Then subsequent times after that, it only shows 0.45-0.5 Bar. I wondered whether it might be the plugs on the pre-control and wastegate control swapped over, so i had a test last night and swapped them over to see if there was any difference.

All I got was the same thing, but this time, the first time i boosted it hit about 1.05 bar!!! And then stuck to the same ol\' 0.45-0.5 bar.

So what are peoples thoughts....if any! :p

When do you get the problem, primary boost, i.e. below 4500rpm or above?
