i wouldnt recommend doing any of those really... yes acceleration would speed up but it would be throwing ur afm readings out of wack.... every now and again ill take the pod off my car as i can run no afm but that usually doesnt stay long at all....id prefer to keep my motor clean

ben...

actually i read it on an article on eliminating negative boost arghh shit article

so put the mesh back in? and see wat happens or tuning time?

:( lol worth a try

p.s moh.. learn to drive n beat mark before telling me mate :sorcerer:

any ideas

Mine was missing one side of the mesh when I bought it, and it runs rich (I think). I get bad economy, but not much smoke at all. (no more than your average family car) Don't know what it's like on boost though, I certainly can't SEE any smoke.

Maybe try resetting your ECU, so it can relearn? Dunno if that would help it learn the A/F ratio or anything, because once you're out of closed loop, the ECU switches to the fuel-maps.

I'm hoping an SAFC can fix that for me and gain a little more oomph.

which side is urs missing, i took out one mesh did little as i removed the other one and fitted it back on.. good on the acceleration but bloody eats fuel like cops on shi*t .... p.s one mesh removed makes a difference

hmm i will try re-setting da ecu man :laugh:

if not cover da mesh time ...till i can get a new ecu unit

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
