Ok I am not reffering to the rich and retard mode which gives you the power dip, but rather a violent cut / stop when on WOT. I had my SAFCII dyno tuned and when i first drove the car all was fine. WOT 11psi all good. Then later that night i went to give it a squirt in second and as the boost pushed 11 and was on the increase, usually gets to about 12 for a bit then drops back down, the car violently cut out and felt like the brakes had been slammed on. :(

I have done heaps of searching on fuel / boost cuts and rich and reatrd etc but I have only now experienced theis problem after i got my SAFCII installed and tuned. :D Before the SAFCII the car could go to around 1 bar without this violent cut business. Over 11 it would usually expereince the reatarding and richening up of mixtures but never cut out like that. Anyone know why this is happening now with the safcII??? IT was quite cold outside but the boost certainly didn't get over 12psi, and it did it in 2nd and forth - feels terrible! Ideas's Comments??

Thanks

Does anyone think that it could be another component causing the problem that just coincidently happened after the safcII tune, 2 hrs hard reving on the dyno etc??? Coil packs?? or would it defienately be a fuel cut. Basically feels like someone slams the brakes on for a sec and if you arn't wearing a seatbelt you would fly forward..

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
