i posted this in general, but u guys r way more helpful.. :P

Havent been driving lately, but yesterday, i took her out and something weird was happening....

now, my boost normally hits 8 psi up till 4500 rpm then steps up to 11psi.

yesterday, it wasnt stepping up at all in any gear, and sometimes it would only hit 7psi, then sometimes 9psi etc. first gear felt alright apart from the lack of boost, but all other gears felt really really flat.. like a big dead spot.

i also noticed my BOV isnt fluttering anymore and sound has changed a bit ...

all hoses / pipes seem to be on OK... anyone can help??

cheers,

dave..

thanks.. im desperate.. really need my car tomoz!

checked piping and seems all fine... my bov is on with a circlip and dont have any circlip pliers here so cant pull it apart.. what i can do is make my car just run a straight 8 psi.. will try that and see how it goes.. got no where to test at the moment.. traffic is farken shocking here.

sounds like there is a leak in one of the piping hoses... thats what was happening to me after i took all the pipes off and put em back on again... the hose was not quite on right and boost was all over the place.

if not... what are u using to up the boost?

my ecu seems to do it.. so when i unplug the factory boost solenoid it just sits at 8psi...

all the pipes look tight.. and nothing in the eng bay has been changed... and car was running perfect on thursday night (apart from the lack of fuel)...... then friday its gone dodgy...

check the wires on the stock boost solenoid, or better just chuck a bleed valve in there and then u wont get that 2 satge boost crap

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
