Ok so yess my car always seams to have an issue, well more likely it is just me.

Some time ago, my car started exhibiting strange surge/stumble at low rpm opening and high boost, say 12 psi at 3000 rpm, this is with teh gizzmo boost controller.

NOW went to my mechanic, after i spent 4 months looking for issues, and couldn't get anywhere. Was told it was my coils, new splitfires. So i had them sent under waranty for check, subsequantly they were found to be faulty, 4 off, and replaced with a new set.

So i installed these last night, all well and good, but the car seams to strugle with boost not, well not strugle, but below 4500 rom, i will not see more then 10 psi, R32 actuator, and then abve 4500 rpm, the boost goes up rather fast to preset boost setting on the gizzmo.

Now i think my car feels flat below the 4500 rpm range, so perhaps my VCT is not working, allthough consult does not report a fault, is there any way to check the VCT other then unpluging it and see if it makes a differance.

What else could couse this issue?

Thanks, and please this is rather urgent, as i need to get my car soughted before the new turbo goes on.

TA

Are you running a bleed value off the return hose from the stock boost solenoid? This would hold at the 32 actuater's limit until after 4500 rpm when the computer opens it then you would get whatever your bleed value is set to

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
