WallaceGlanza Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sounds like your hitting fuel cut, a very common problem, its is over boosting. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 if you dont have the origenal airbox setup brown packng tape round a portion of the airfilter is a cheap viable option to limit airflow Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 if you have a look at the technical section fual cut has been covered before, do some of the steps above and this will eradicate it until you can solve out fualing issues to match your mods mate Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 indeedy, or thisfoam, i found this to be very effective at controlling creep, but it looked shite :lol:My attempt was even more ghetto...2 pairs of sport socks! Didn't really have much effect though. Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 OR you just adjust the actuator or use an electronic boost controller to restrict the boost with the solenoid.. Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah, I have both HKS actuator and GReddy profec ebc and it doesn't stop it, mine creeps upto 16-17psi where I hit my fuel cut, only when its really cold though. Link to post Share on other sites
