i used a fan screw from one of the pc's at work lol. worked a treat, then i used a mates vice. i didnt squash it too much, but the spring tension is definately tighter now. lets see how we go tomorow on the dyno again :bunny:

well just as i thought. went to get the car retuned today and loosing pressure again!!!

the plenum gasket totally stuffed. soon as i hit 16 psi theres a loud / medium pitched hiss and drops back to about 13.9 psi. that sound right people?

ive started to get it sorted but im stuck. how to i get the bolts out from under the plenum?

Edited by R33GOD

i changed the plenum gasket. it stopped the major leak. i dont know what the heck is goin on but i cannot hold boost above 14psi!!!!!!!!!!!

i took it to g-tech today and done a boost leak test and there was absolutely no leaks.

my actuator is a hks one so i dont know why it wouldnt hold boost.

could it be my gizzmo electronic boost controller?

this has got me really pi$$ed off!

opinions please!!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
