what do you mean by back pressure? do you mean that the car is cutting out? if it is then you are hitting rich and retard. the only real way around it is a new ecu.

as for the stock gauge, it may be inaccurate.

mmm not cutting out, as in its giving off tiny backfires like when i hit full boost i hear lil popping sounds. :(

oh, so its missfiring.

in that case, what sort of plugs do you have, and what gap?

to be honest brother i have no idea i recently bought it and as far as i know its 100% stock so u think it might be the plugs?

more than likely it is the plugs. get some ngk BCPR6ES. they are about $3 each. they should be gapped to 0.8mm. stick them in and see what happens. if that doesn't fix it , it may be that the coilpacks need to be taped up.

thanks alot brother i'll give her a try as soon as i get home

    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
