I would say the boost problem sounds like a split hose in the system somewhere - not one of the vacuum hoses, but one of the hoses going to, or from the intercooler.

The y-piece rubber coupler can split.

If none of those are the case, then i would guess that exaust is being diverted from the primary turbo before it should be - therefore keeping the boost down. The turbo pre control actuator/solenoid is responsible for directing exhaust from the primary turbo to the secondary turbo. Alternatively, some of the boost could be being let out somewhere (similar to the idea of the leak somewhere in the pipework) - this could be due to the Air By-Pass Valve. There are several areas to try! Look here for a more difinitive answer: http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-7/TurboTroubleshooting.htm

Alternatively, you could have something similar to what i had - i wasn\'t getting any more than 0.5 bar because the vacuum lines were \'wired up\' incorrectly. But I couldn\'t figure them out, so took it to Pip at WGT who sorted it within 2 hours!

Cheers dude - sounds like i\'m gonna take it somewhere and spend money...

Why did they make the engine so complicated........?

If you\'re in need of an RX friendly garage theres a place called Rx Heaven in Southwater near Horsham.

 Check you have no splits in the pipes coming from Turbo to intercooler or intercooler to throttle body.

I think my first post was to ask for help. But then again I did grow up on a council estate  :rollin

P.S. this is not a personal dig at you TRex, at all! Just wanted to point out that most people find this forum through the need for assistance.

They made it so complicated so you would have to take it to someone to get it fixed!

Hello and welcome to the club mate. The MRC welcomes you to post whtever you like when ever you like WITHIN REASON or ill moderate your ass!

If you need any further help please dont hesitate to post, (after doing a search to see if its already been posted before )

It does sound like a vacuum line, if you are not confident enough in your own abilities then it might be best to get someone to have a look at it, as it could end up costing you more in the long run

good luck with it mate

Cheers

Donato

Of course i\'ll play nice - i just wasn\'t welcomed as heartily as i expected but loads of people have more than made up for it!  

Thanks for everything guys! :cool

Maybe the forum should adopt a "feedback rating" system, like eBay use. Where by you get positive feedback for answering technical posts and negative feeback for flaming. Or perhaps I just have far too much time on my hands.  :rollin

[nikp]

Not a good name to have then: tony blair!! You\'ll get a negative rating straight away! I don\'t like the way poll tax has gone up!! :rollin :rollin :rollin

Didn\'t we do away with the poll tax back in the tory days? Or perhaps I re-introduced it as a stealth tax  :rollin

[nikp]

poll tax, council tax, tax on petrol, stealth tax - you lot tax everything - what difference does it make which one i state!!? :p

[DaemonRX7]

How did my post turn into a political debate?! :confused:

You kids....

[TonyBlair]

Well if more people like me voted Lib Dem instead of Labour I think our stupid tax system would be in a better state.

Anyway... I think we\'ve hi-jacked this thread enough already. What was the topic again?  :rollin

[DaemonRX7]

My knackered rex....i\'ve taken it down the road to a guy who knows his jap cars - completely forgot about him!  Only hope he doesn\'t pull me pants down when i get the invoice....
