Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 No words just an awesome picSod it words too- If this doesnt solve my boost problem im going to wack myself in the misters with a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What boost problems babe? If that doesn't work, try search for JAM Actuators - a few guys had them for sale on TGTT; they seem to be the most stable of actuators as some people still experienced Boost creep with the HKS actuators, whereas the JAM (in my case at least) was perfect. Running seemingly the recipe of disaster for boost creep (no air filter, front mount, Blitz downpipe), I had no creep whatsoever, and the JAM actuator would hold boost awesomely - even nearing the redline it would only drop a PSI maximum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 hks actuator is one still the same problem. theres serious gay non boosting somewhere il put a proper explanation up laters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 WOW that was quick!!LOL @ the MJ joke I went to weigh in loads of shite with my mates including my mani and decat and they wouldnt give me £2.50 for both numpties!!!That should do the trick mate!!If not whack a TD06 20G on there with a nice fat external wastegate B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 ghey - I had an issue recently, had a bleed valve connected to the turbo, and about a year ago I'd see no boost - like, 2psi, 3psi tops; Rick then removed the screw from the bleed valve and, ouila, boost! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 where abouts was the bleed valve ricco cause this boost aint good at all. i got the actuator turned up past what i consider acceptable and its only still showing up on the gauge as 0.6 bar. but the actuators been turned 15 times and is about 3 cm near the end of the thread which is supposed to be rated at 1.1 bar something isnt right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Right after being convinced the problem to the shite boost was down to the standard actuator i bought a HKS one and got it fittedGot the old actuator off and yes it was fucked. it was so lose and crap it was unrealgot the new actuator on and set it like the standard one was, took it for a spin and was hitting 0.4 bar stillgave it 5 turns on the pin to shorten it and then it was o.45 ish so gave it another 10 turns and it was at 0.6 bar. now this seemed a lot of turns for such small gains and from what i remember from my black gt it only took a few turns to get the boost a bit higherSo I've taken some pictures (not brill quality as the digital cameras dead) but you can get the general gist of it. What i need from you lovely people is opinions from the pics if the actuators wound too far up for just 0.6 bar of boost cause where it is i think it should be running well moreSorry for the poor quality thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasigt Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 u might have a boost leak sumwhere or the turbo may have a hairline crack.... (compressor side) hence it might be boosting to full potentialfaisal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 well there is a crack in the mani and until i save up some dolla for a stainless mani im going to get it welded tonight as a temporary solution so that might help a bit. but i just cant see it making a huge difference and im not even sure if the cracks gone all the way through cause i cant hear a leak when driving. might have to check the turbo though sometime cause theres deffo something not right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 THIS CAR IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeh it may be wound to the wrong place on the actuator for what the boost should be and yeah it may have a welded manifold but for the first time since i got it it actually feels like a real GT.Its boosting very nice and strong at 0.7 bar now which im happy with. The magnecore leads are on and iridium spark plugs too. The boost problem aint at the back of my mind yet but i can rest a lot easier now knowing its nice and strong. Next job is deffo front mount then its hard saving for a month or 2 for a full exhaust system from front to back and i think for now a port and polish on the tubby might be a good idea. Then we can start playing with a bit more boost and an uprated fuel pump but for tonight im happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 How is it boosting .7bar now mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 more than any woman (or riko) could ever make me cheers dude Take that back NAO! Or I won't do that thing with the chilli pepper, feather and latex gloves anymore Have you tried a functional stock Actuator to see if the problem is not with the actuator itself and rather somewhere in the vacuum plumbing, intercooler piping etc?

Socks Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 tthere is a crack on the manifold....it was boosting to 0.6bar before. dropped some weld on the manifold as a temp fix... now he has 0.7bar...cud still be leaking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
