after have a fun drive home from mascrat manor tonight i managed to get the "heat" light on for the cat no since this happened the car doesnt seemt to be happy its hesitating under boost on the second turbo and feels like its not boosting fully like it was this morning, what have i done?
have you got a apexi power fc fittted?
nope got some sort of mines ecu fitted, was warned it might cause the car to run lean could this be a problem i was kinda off the clock (kph) at the time on a private road of course :p
with what mods?
exhaust running the standard cat, HKS mushroom filters and the air pump unplugged cos it was making a horrible noise
Possable that you have a bad Air pump and if you don\'t use one over time the Cat will Clog up and Die, Usaly the signs are Mostly up the Rev range or under load (Boosting)
Are you getting First Turbo Boost now?
sounds possible as the air pump was unplugged when i got it, how much would i be able to pick a second hand one up for?
Air pump or cat?
I may know where there is a Cat,Air pump and a Decat.
air pump, and that decat you have will it work with my ecu or do i need the power FC as i remeber someone saying as long as the bore of the pipe is the same as the cat it wont mess the standard mapping up
you really need to lose the mines completely anyhow IMO and get something programmeable in its place...and get it programmed...
its all part of the future plan i just cant afford to do it untill after xmas as i have found out there are NO uk mines dealers who i can speak to for advice i have even spoken to pip for advice about it and he is a little unsure about it. i want to get a power FC for it as i want to move over to a Big single T04s or a T04z with a extended street port.
TBH if i was you i\'d get rd of the Air pump and Put a decat on. I can\'t see there being any Big Effects with a Std bore decat? I think its the 3" Down pipe that you\'d start having Boost Problems with.
BTW the To4S is a smallish Plain bearing Turbo and the To4Z is a Monster Roller Bearing Turbo there quite Diffrent ;)
right i will have that decat when i get paid then ;) start of next month :)
sorry to hijack your post but noticed both of you are kinda northwest based and just wanted to know if you know of anywhere breaking an rx round these parts?
What are you after?
olly if grizzly doesnt have the parts give RX motors a call i got my lock set off them paid for them on the friday and they where here saturday morning cant recomend them enough
I second RxMotors, Tim will sort you out, he has possably the biggest collection of Rx Bits in the UK and his Delivery is Very quick.

This sounds eerily similar to my drive home last week. Haven\'t been out in the car since as I\'m worried. My airpump is disconnected, also because it was making a hideous noise and then heat light kept coming on about 50 miles from home. I\'ve got an Apexi PFC on mine though, does that make any difference??
Boost would kinda drop off from 12psi down to nothing and flutter about a bit, higher up the rev range.
I\'m hoping the cat is knackered like you say Grizzly and a nice easy decat and remove airpump fix, rather than blown seals or anything.
Sorry to hijack the thread Little_ant, but the symptoms were too similar to mine and worry was setting in :confused:
Think a trip to see Pip is on the cards, luckily I\'m moving to Middlewich in January. So just round the corner from WGT.

the car seems to have sorted its self out tbh and since i fitted my delimiter its running so much better not had the issue since, dont think it helped the garage i got the car of was running it on crappy asda 95 ron petrol. still gonna get that decat off you though chris, need to speak to you about another part i need if you have it
? whats that ?
you know the bottle that sits behind the drivers side headlight as a aux fill up to the rad do you have one of them mine has a hole in it just found out at the petrol station when i got some rather wet feet
You mean the over flow tank? So you don\'t have any water in it?
I\'ll have a look through my Collection of Bits.
think so, looks like it should be the bottle you fill for the wash jets on a normal car lol
nope got no water in it as it leaks out the bottom only just found this out tonight when i was checking levels and filled it up
iv got a list as long as my arm of bits i need
O/S door glass
O/S outer window seal
O/S rubber seal that goes around top edge of door opening
plastic trim than goes around the clocks and the lower panel that would go above your feet,
N/s rear quater reflector
front splitter
lol thats why i thought if i could find someone in the northwest i could just go up n get them as postage would be a bummer
If you can wait a couple of weeks I\'ll have the glass and rubbers available.
And I\'m in the North West (ish) - Skipton.
Send us a mail and I\'ll make sure I give you a shout when they are available.
