StarletMad Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Anyone got any ideas?Hi/Lo boost solenoid has been removed and got a FMIC thats it.When first fitted engine the car seemed to boost to 0.6 Bar fine and Hold it.Fitted a CAT for MOT would this make any difference?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 What causes that a bad actuator?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 That could be one... But the CT9s are prone to it due to the small wastegate iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Air Filter Getting Too Much Air??Is the Actuator plumbed up correctly?? The Pipe at the back goes to atmosphere ?? :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 will be a combination of FMIC and front mounted airfilter mate, buy an adjustable actuator and turn it down a bitit wont work trying to turn it down with a boost controller unfortunately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Ive got one in the garage .... BUT ive misplaced the spinny onny bit so technically only got half of it.Do you think if i remove the last silicone elbow and face the filter face on itll restrict the air flow a little ??

Amjad Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Doubt it to be honest. Port the wastegate is best bet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 As mentioned on FB, restrict the air intake and it'll help cure the creep. If you can find a piece of foam, cable tie that over the filter. Or re-fit the original turbo intake pipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 If i could i would bud....Been working my arse off all week to get her back on the road ready for monday as got a show.......Only seems to have started since put the cat on for MOT :?Il give it a go Iddddddddddddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I can tell you right now the problem easy1) front mounted air filter2) front mount intercooler2 classic nods to cause boost creepSolution: plug n play ecu and a rob spec turbo or get Ricky lee to mod your standard turbo to handle it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sorted it. The pipe on the rear of the acuator didnt go to anything so blocked it off... Sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
