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

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
