You've got a remapped ecu that is certianly not tuned for your bigger turbo... There is your problem. You can't hear all pinging. It'll be rattling those forgies left right and center and you won't have  clue till you start seeing blue smoke in the rearview mirror.

Dumbest shit ever.

Go and get your car tuned properly before you kill it.

if you had of Listed your mods to start with, explained what you've done, and didn't be a smartassed prick about it you might have gotten better answers. You wonder why people have got no idea what you're on about and can't help you? Noticed the scattered posts that people have left here with no idea?

Is it just me, or does SAU get stupider by the week?

"Everyone, omg, wtf, I just installed a bigger turbo and my car doesn't ping at 20psi! Whats wrong with it!!!!1111oneone!!111!!"

try reading the question properly! in the future instead of writing just wat is in your head, actually y bother if you just want to be a smartass. The reason i didnt list the supporting mods is cause it has no effect on the ACTUAL question, you just wanted to pick s*%t.

secondly you say "Is it just me, or does SAU get stupider by the week?"

sorry we dont all just sit behind a computer and think we r clever cause we can type we can actually do the mods OURSELFS "mechanically minded" instead of paying a performance shop $$$$ to do it for us,

thanks you actually offered help!!! :D

With a rebuilt turbo it should be more efficent, meaning more airflow at the same psi of restriction. So actually if it was tuned on map it would be more likely to ping and if on maf same thing but max it out sooner and go into rich mapping to avoid detonation, maybe thats why.

A new turbo wont give you more boost on the same setting, (i dont care who you are) its just a setting to tell the wastegate when to open.

My 2 cents.

dipshit, I did the mods myself. I don't tune, because I don't have the equipment.

You started off with the smartassed remarks, and you went on about why your car isn't pinging... thats just a dumb question... I know enough about tuning to know that its not pinging for a reason...which is probably good...

you want it to ping... go and fuel up with 91 octane fuel..

Do you have electronic Boost control?

if so, it shoudl hold the same boost.

Do you have standard Boost control?

if so, I doubt it would just 7 psi just from changing the turbo.

Do you have a blee valve?

is so, it's probably knacker or have been knocked during the refitting and needs to be adjusted back.

Do you have an aftermarket computer?

if not, your stock computer is doing the rich and retard dance.

More details, or we are all pissingg in the wind, and I don't like getting wet.

We need to know everything about the problem including supporting modifications before we can accurately help.

What you have done is said this

I just put new tyres on my bike.

Then I fell off.

Why?

Please give us some more details.

BASS OUT

yes but its a little old school its the hks ez

that was set on 13 before changed turbo when turbo went back in and no one moved the dial was at 20psi

Do you have standard Boost control?

if so, I doubt it would just 7 psi just from changing the turbo.

the internal wastegate is set at 15psi, but yeh refer question 1

Do you have a blee valve? n/a

is so, it's probably knacker or have been knocked during the refitting and needs to be adjusted back.

Do you have an aftermarket computer? remap

if not, your stock computer is doing the rich and retard dance.

now i got it sorted anyway i got it a 18psi that me happy enough atm, till can re-tune

The ebc works on a fixed duty cycle to set boost. If it were a 'learning' ebc where you dial in 15psi and it learns what duty cycle required to achieve that boost level at various rpms then it would be a different story.

I think maybe a boost leak has been fixed up in the process. :P

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
