grimr3ap3r_ Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi, just after some advice as ive read various articles and havent found my answer.my starlet is totaly standard minus an air filter on the end of the efi pipe (ive even removed my dv)now when i swap over my boost pipes to bypass the sonoied i get all my lovely boost but i get creep and hit 0.85 everytime and fuel cut, the only thing ive been able to do is put the boost pipes back round as it keeps cutting in this cold air.is this normal?i dont have a problem when the pipes are back to standard, but i really want the high boost as its amazing!thank you in advance and sorry if i seem a dunce, but ive learnt so much already, Liam im presuming it is fuel cut by the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevink Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 if it spikes(the boost) couldn't it be down to a worn out actuator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 yes this is what i thought! engine management light comes on and everything!im gonn have a look tonight, i dont know what it is now its quite common when you bypass the solenoid as ure just letting the actuator get on with it from then on. its mainly the time of year, where its so cold the air is dense and the turbos got less to do and more air gets sucked in than usual, the ct9 does a shit job of bypassing the excess as it has a small wastegate, just leave it normal until the weather gets a bit better.either that or u want a hks actuator/boost controller/ get the wastegate portedall of which help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grimr3ap3r_ Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 thanks durmz, i was sure it was fuel cut to do with the cold air (becomes more dense)ive been trying to explain that to my mate for hours who works at the garage but he doesnt understand,i know its fuel cut as im boosting 0.9 when its happening,thanks again guys, good place to get actuator? TT?Liam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
