Liam_D Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Externally gate it! I had a massive problem with boost creep, went externally gated and now it Doesent move at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Liam, what mods did you have when you had issues ? And was your wastegate cracked ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just refit the filter and restrict it a little more dude whilst its so cold, mine used to spike like crazy after I took the filter off and ran gauze,, as soon as I refitted it it stabled up nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Liam, what mods did you have when you had issues ? And was your wastegate cracked ?I was struggling the most when I had full exhaust system, decat and front mounted filter the most. As far as I was aware the wastegate was fine.

Beastmode panda Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well instead of starting a new thread i thought i'd just bump this. Got the new td04 on, it's been fully opened up, ported and polished and i also put the air filter re-location back on and surprise surprise it's still boost spiking if not MORE than before!! It's fucking scary when the gizzmo flashes i just back off without hesitation!!!!! Fuck sake :@. What can i do!!?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not a great deal now mate tbh keep turning your actuator down till it stops spiking so high Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 if your using an electronic boost controller and nothing is working, its most likley the stepper motor for the controller thats the problem. Try running the car on actuator pressure by just putting the vac pipe from the compressor housing into the actuator, then see if it creeps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) hey rbz just beem reading through this the Td04 doesnt suffer from boost creep, the wastegate is really big even using with just a iinternal actuator, if your still getting creep then its down to your actuator, especially as you mention your using an internal one. its probably not opening up fully, how have you hooked it up? you say your ebc isnt controlling the boost, fucked actuator or improperly mounted actuator i would say Edited February 28, 2013 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like most guys i know with td04, it's only held on by 1 bolt when rotated... How can i fix this so it opens up properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was gonna say some people have had problems with Gizzmo controllers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) i had the same problem, once you rotate the turbo the actuator doesnt fit, and when you fit it on with one bolt the actuator arm isnt parallel with the wastegate arm, this then causes problems dumping excess boost, even with an ebc as it cant physically open the wastegate enough.your gonna need to fabricate a new bracket. you need to make sure 1. the actuator arm is straight with the wastegate arm2. the actuator can freely move to open and close, if you need more scope to open the wastegate,i packed mine with loads of washers to move the actuator more to the right, you will just need to experiment, but it pissed me off so much i ended up changing to an external mani and wastegate.

StuDoc 72 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 How about this 1 any thoughts? I have a Tongs CT9 and when it goes on boost around 2500-2800 its shoots up to 0.8-0.9 for avery quick second or 2. It then settles higher up the revs around 0.5-0.6. I know you will get a slight spike with initial boost but it shouldnt be this far above what its holding any body came across this before? I still have the standard top mount which I know wont help. Plus i think my actuator is pretty loose as without the EBC it only makes about 0.2-0.3 so I was going to tighten that to about 0.4-0.5 and see if that helped. Any suggestions to jump start my thoughts would be helpful though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Taggy, can you please post up a picture of how it SHOULD look? Cause obviously i've twisted/rotated the actuator arm to allow it to slow over the wastegate lip bit on the housing then put the C clip on it. So i'm not too sure how it should look once done properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 why not disconnect the gizzmo, and have a look at boost spike thru your boost gauge??my gizzmo likes to creep.. so may not all be down to the actuator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ditch the Gizzmo and your boost issues will dissappear. Something like a Blitz DSBC will do the job much better than a Gizzmo. Cheers Mike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beastmode panda Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 No stu, directed at me haha. I have a gizzmo . I will loop the actuator to the turbo over the weekend and see what happens! Cheers for the idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Awww I see lol good I got a bit concerned there was thinking well ive just bought it fuck getting another 1 lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikep82 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 @mike You're correct cause with the bigger exhaust the turbo can spoolup twice as fast and then ya get spikes. My Mate subaru with n td04 got it everytime with a shitty ebc. 1.5 bar spikes Blitz sbc id-III ya can adjust the spoolup time and just get it on the edge of not jet spiking. Ive had it to, change the time and your sorted. (Similar setup ct9 hybrid) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spoon_tuned Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Bolocks! They're not cheap either - _ -Did you solve this problem rob??I know what you mean by the actuator held by one bolt mines the same. Mine doesn't spike that bad tbh only slightly over a bar when cold i'd just get a good boost controller and see what happens then theres a greddy one on civiclife £140 atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need to try the actuator possition first before i start spending money. Probs won't be buying a boost controller right now as it's been an expensive month already for the car lol, had to pay for the body work damage and just spent £210 on bits for the car for mot at the end of the month and got to pay for that and have tracking done yet lol.
