I;d see if you have a bugger fuel pump, or maybe a stuffed turbo.

Take it to a mechanic if you aren't sure about what you're doing.

yeah my mates a mech, and he is going to be piised off because driving it around to his place just then and its driving fine hehe and i know how mechs like the eratic probs.. cheers

Sorry not sure exactly what you are trying to say.

So it hits full boost, and the car goes nowhere. When it happens is the boost falling off or it stays on full boost? Also, does it still rev out cleanly but just doesnt feel strong?

Could be simply clutch slip?

Might also be the reason it was fine when your friend looked at, as when clutches first start to show signs it needs a bit of heat to start slipping.

when i accelarate on boost, turbo spools reads 7psi on my gauge but doesnt pull, feels like timing is retard but is not,def not clutch slip i no what that feels like

revs good, idles smooth drives good of boost, only notice it when i sink the boot in

are you reading off the stock r33 gauge ? because its not in psi if you are reading from that one, its in mmhg, +7 is 700mmhg which is 1bar which is too high and the stock ecu is doing its factory protection mode

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
