im experiencing a shithouse feeling when im driving, the boost takes forever to come on and then its like its making a half assed attempt to do so because it makes nowhere near full boost. also when it gets to just before 6000rpm the car just pulls back on me and its all over. this has only started happening recently. shown in the photo below is a ding in the cooler piping that i think may be causing some of this but its been like that for quite some time so im led to believe its a deeper issue. only mods are FMIC, exhaust, microtech & boost raised to 12psi. any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers, mark

update: checked the vacuum line that runs from the microtech to the plenum and found this (3rd time i checked it i missed it both times

pic is a bit shite but u can clearly see the vacuum line is farked and from what id been told this was wat was causing the car to shit out so i changed the vacuum line over today and it is no better. absolutely everything seems to be fine im certain there has to be air leaking from somewhere. if the boost controller is leaking would i be able to hear the air coming out (it is only a cheapo BC)

oh and also i noticed this....

to me it looks like the gasket for the throttle body has escaped out the side or something, i dont really get it, if it has could this be the problem?

what caused that ding ?? is it possible that maybe the piping itself may have developed a crack thus blowing boost out to atmoshere..I would start with all the silicon hose fittings first and then look into that ding area

one of the silicon hose fittings was farked and you could hear the car shreiking from a mile away but that is replaced and now there is no noises but yes i will double check the rest of them.

all of the silicon joiners seem fine there was a vacuum leak but i fixed that but still having the same problem. the boost gauge doesnt move into the positive til about 4500rpm and only just makes it to about 3-4 before it gets to 6000rpm and f**ks out on me.......any ideas?

ummm...no to the fcd, ive checked all the silicon and it seems to be intact, ive farked a silicon joint before but i could still make boost this mother f**ker will not get out of the negative range. how would u go about checking ignition?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
