hey, im havin dramas! my 33's basicly standard engine wise. pod filter, zorst, front mount and boost tee.

i was running .85 bar and it was running fine.

after about 3 months of no probs it started to get a flatspot down low. i replaced the plugs and fuel filter but it didnt really help.

a few weeks later it got worse.

now when i plant it theres a big flat spot then it sounds like its hitting boost cut, it coughs and then pulls hard as if nothing wrong all the way to the redline?

ive just been winding boost out of it and the problem doesnt go away until im down to 0.5 of a bar(7psi)?

why wouldnt i be able to wind it above stock boost????

anyone have any suggestions or had this problem before?

me-------> :P <-------- my car

I basically had the same problem. Runnin 0.8 bar..

Realised after a while, the boost tee opens up a bit. As in, i recckon the hole gets a tad bigger, so you end up running more boost than previously set.

I noticed after a month or two, that the boost went above the 0.8 bar to 1 bar. Had huge flat spots, and was just shit..

So i turned my boost down to 0.65-0.7 bar, and seemed to worked well.. No flat spots at all

But then again, all i got is, full exhaust, pod.. basically everything else is still stock..

Running rich will also contribute..

Best to get your car tuned if you can afford it..

Let me know how you fix your problem..

    • Thanks for that mate always a good help
    • It's not really a calibration issue, if the voltage is really at 2V. If the voltage is 2V, then that's what the TPS is putting out, and the Haltech is seeing that and 2V is about 40% open (you know, between 0.45v being closed and something close to 4.5V being fully open). So, that would suggest that the TPS is maladjusted, on crooked, something something something. Or a wire problem.
    • Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ? 
    • The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution?
