joe-ep91 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 After borrowing my mates spare turbo, I decided to give it a good test to see what condition its in. After the turbo stays on full boost (10psi) for a couple of seconds the turbo completely cuts out and the boost just dies, sounding like its trying to spool but something is stopping it. It's most apparent in gears 1 and 2. I have no idea of what could be causing this. My mods are catback exhaust, de-cat, mushroom style filter, and a forge dump valve.Can anyone shed any light at all???ThanksJoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraGle Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 fuel cut mate, try restricting your air flow, I had the same mods, and found taping up my air filter, worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Deffo not fuel cut. Oh yeah forgot to say, the boost cuts even on low boost! (about 7psi) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 sounds to me like fuel cut buddy u got a fcd or anything like that mateYour not going to hit fuel cut at 7psi and the solution to hitting fuel cut is not to just throw on an fcd!Looks like the turbo maybe getting restricted for some reason,is it getting oil ok the feed isnt blocked or anything?There's no sounds of a leak or anything? It sounds very strange if it just stps whilst boosting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
