You know, I was waiting for you to kick in with your thoughts, LOL! A voice of experience when it comes to turbos, yes?!?

Yeah, well I have popped a couple of turbos in my time...

Had to do a lot of research into which turbo I should get next (so that I dont pop another one) :P

So when do we get to see the white pearl beast again??

I'm off to check the Lotto ticket again today, LOL!

There will be very gradual forward progress over the next 6 months, then hopefully a flurry of activity that might, MIGHT see her surface somewhere at the end of '09. Unless the ticket comes in, in which case it'll be six weeks!! Believe me, and I know you're feelin' my pain, when I say it breaks my heart to see her sitting still. I keep telling myself "It WILL be worth the wait, it WILL be worth the wait, it WILL be worth the wait..."

Hmmm, back on the topic of inlet pressure, wouldn't it be somewhat beneficial to have a little bit of air left behind just at the front of the throttle body so as to increase response for the next time you step on the gas?

Or does it dissipate so quickly that it's better to vent and then just get freshly compressed (and hopefully cool!) from outside again?

Good question.

There is always a certain amount of pressure in the inlet whenever the engine is running, as the turbo never actually comes to a complete stop, BOV's have a spring (which is usually manually adjustable in aftermarket items) which will only let a certain amount of pressure out of the inlet and keep a certain amount in.

If there was 0 pressure or a vaccum in the inlet, the next time you stepped on the throttle the engine would almost always stall.

Ok back on topic, what ticks me off is F_cking kids on school holidays with nothing better to do that run around egging houses!!! :blush:

Last night I spent half an hour washing 3 eggs off the back of my house and when I went looking for the little sh_ts I managed to catch them in the act but one had his 'P's and they took off in a POS Ford Laser before I could bash their skulls in!!

I called the cops and lodged a report and all they said was "we'll keep an eye out for the car, call us back if it happens again"... I used to like living in my suburb but now its full of little 16 - 17 year old f_ckwits!! :bunny:

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
