Pretty basic spec

Standard engine and turbo

Custom stainless exhaust

Roose hose kit

Fimic

Trd leads

Mines ecu and that's about it

Plan is updated fuel pump

Mani

Decat

And up the boost

[Starbuck]

Coming together.

[Lawless]

Having a slight problem since fitting the fimic can anyone advice me on what to do first of all it was under boosting and felt sluggish

So I checked all the intercooler joiners were tight and had a decent length of pipe in them and noticed the studs on the turbo where the hotside pipe were not done up at all it ls almost like there's not enough thread to grab them ?

But tightens them up as far as I could feels pretty solid and since then it's making some insane whistling noise and there's hardly any dump coming from the bov?

you got a leak then bud some of those pipes look like they have taking a beating sure its not leaking from there or something.

I definitely have a leak can hear it all the time when on the throttle just can't pinpoint where it's comin from il try putting sealant round the hot pipe

Cheers

[akyakapotter]

it wont help having jublee clips id get mikalor clamps

[Lawless]

The pipes seemed to be In good health only surface damage and the hoses nice and tight

The only other thing I think is causing the leak is the studs seem to short and I can't get a decent amount of thread through the nut ?

[Lawless]

Got the hot pipe sorted can anybody tell me what the stock boost pressure is on low and high boost

Because not sure if its still leaking slightly somewhere else

[jimmymac101]

if i rememeber correctly its 0.65 on low boost and standard boost is 0.8 or 0.85

[Lawless]

Hmm only getting .4 on low and .65 on high

So she's still leaking

[jimmymac101]

Don't hold he to that though buddy I'm not 100% sure

[Lawless]

Ok thanks though dude

Anyone else got any info on the stock boost settings so I can check how much it's leaking

[StarletSr?]

That right mate .4 low and .65 high

[Lawless]

That right mate .4 low and .65 high

Cheers pal

[DamoC]

0.35bar low, and 0.65 high!

[Lawless]

Must be leak free then

[StarletSr?]

Thats good then mate have you noticed a difference with the front mount?

[Lawless]

Thats good then mate have you noticed a difference with the front mount?

Yes mate sounds fuckin awesome changed from a hks bov to a greddy at the same time spool up sounds good to !!

Little bit more laggy but well worth it In my opinion

[Lawless]

Having a slight problem guys took the beast to work today and while sat on the motorway whenever I put my foot down the temp gauge was going down towards cold and then sat at a constant speed it would go back up Half way any ideas what causing this ?

[bucketep91]

Sounds like a thermostat issue. Just replace it, cheap and easy

[Lawless]

Thermostat changed issue sorted

Next problem fitted stainless manni and decat last night to find yet another boost issue it's building boost but not as much as before and whistling its tits off no dump it's an obvious boost leak but can't seem to locate it can anyone point me the right direction

Thanks

[Lawless]
