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

NOPE I HAVE A GIZZMO, dam autocad caps, i have a gizzmo boost controller with it's own new solenoid, seup worked fine 9 months ago, then somethign went funny, no idea what, no one can find it yet, so sarching for some anwsers.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
