Ok, as you may know already i went and got another compression test on friday and the results were good, but now the car is running shit and coughs and splutters and dies under any acceleration at all,

i noticed the first time i started the car after the test was completed the screen of the turbo timer which is normally GREEN was RED.... so obviously it is sensing something is wrong..

obviously they have stuffed somthing up while putting it all back together.... but what could it have been?

i think they put the coils back in the wrong order they took them off but would this matter?

maybe another wire or something they have mucked up... or left un connected???

anyone have any idea what the problem may be? or has anyone encountered this problem themselves?

any help would be very much appreciated.

A boost leak? thats why the tt is red?

Coil packs can go in any order.

maybe..... it seems to get worse at about 3000rpm, just as the turbo starts to spool... but what ever it is it has been triggered by them doing the compression test, it was fine before that.... now its not.... so i dunno.... any other ideas anyone?

To do a compression test they would of had to take the cross over pipe off, a boost leak would occur if they didnt tighten the clamps up tight enough, god knows it happened to me.

PROBLEM SOLVED.....

ONE OF The HOSE CLAMPS WAS f*kKIN LOOSE AS, YOU COULD SPIN IT WITH YOUR FINGERS, SO OBVIOUSLY AS THE PRESSURE STARTED TO BUILD AT 3000RPM WHEN THE TURBO WAS BOOSTING.... THE PRESSURE WOULD LEAK.... BUT STILL THE TURBO TIMER SCREEN IS STILL RED.... I CAN CHANGE IT TO GREEN BUT IT DOESNT STAY GREEN AND EVERYTIME I TURN THE CAR OFF IT DEFULTS BACK TO RED.... ANY IDEAS....?

ITS A BLITZ full auto turbo timer (FATTX)

I dont know anything about them but it could mean there is still a small leak somewhere else or it needs to be reset.

also solved, as far as i know it defaults back to red when its been diconnected..... i now have changed it back to green.... its a little less "worrying" to look at now.....
