Finally got my car fixed!!!

[DREMEN]

Well after 1 month of my car running like shit! She is finally fixed and all going well

Initial Problem: As soon as I hit boost it sounded like a hair dryer in the engine bay And it just ran like shit... was lossing 40rwkw And it was now boost cutting at 10psi

I took it to a local place in penrith thinking it was a boost leak...

They smoke tested it and ran it on the dyno, they said they couldn't find any leaks and said that the turbo and ECU were ****ed but I said bullshit!

I then took it to a few other "mate" mechanics and they couldn't find the problem.

Finally I took it to Hills Motorsport..... they found one of the elbow join inetrcooler pipes had a split running along the join

Apparently this can doesn't show up on a smoke test because a smoke test only runs at 3 psi and was not enough pressure to open the crack...

So finally it is all fixed :D

What a drama just over a stupid boost leak!

I guess no one cares

i care

[DREMEN]

On hills motorsport dyno it put out 161rwkw on 8.8psi

Torque = 615 Nm

Petrol = 10.79

Speed = 127kw/h

3rd gear dyno run

[hippy]

you still hit 10psi with a boost leak??

[DREMEN]

It was boost cutting at 10psi with the boost leak.

Has probably put alot of stress on the turbo but it still seems fine now.

What'd you end up thinking of hills

You sure that's 615 nm's ? Cause that's a tidy figure, better then most new v8's with a lot more power.

Probably coz it was run in 3rd
