ok so im new to this forum but im in need of some help from you guys who know your stuff. so i whent and bought a turbosmart bost controller just a t-peice one and fitted it all up tried to set the boost and it wont conrol boost under 0.7 bar thats as far bak as the adjuster winds atm i was jus tlooking to run the 0.5 bar it had been running till i could get it tuned it has and apexi safc not the best but beter than nuthing i guess now my problem is that now when it hits 4000rpm approximatly it starts missing like its going into RnR does this sound right i tried to lean the fuel out a bit with the computer im not to sure if it helped or not and i dnt want ot lean it out to much and course damage so. im positive ive got it set up right from the instructions i got with it says to have the controller flow arrow going towards the actuator is this right? any one who could give me some helpful imformation would be great thanx

oh and if this helps the cars mods are fmic,3'' dump and 3.5''cat back, apexi safc

yeh hopfully im going to see a tuner tomorrow as i live in gladstone qld we only have like 1 tuner in town but i guess its beter than none. im just hopin gits not the coil packs earthing out cos they expensive i dnt think it will be because it was fine running 05-06 bar with tahndard boost solinoid i think its just getting into rich and retarded so hopfully the safc can tune that out it ws in the car when i got it one day ill get around to getting a new ecu

ok so ive got it booked in for a tune and i got rid of the misfire it was just going into RnR like i suspected but there is still one weird thing i cant work out when u exelerate hard in 1st the boost goes to wear its set till about 4000rpm then just tails out and drops rapidly is this normal or is sumpthing wrong it dosnt do this in any other gear and still runs fine in 1st just does that so anyone who noes why its happening le tme no plz thanx in advance

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
