Hey i was just wondering if it sounds correct that coil packs would play up at only 14psi?

My cars getting tuned with A GT3082R turbo and the tuner said that 14-15 pound boost and the car is breaking up.

Just wondering if this sounds normal, cause i know ppl have run 14 psi with the standard turbo without upgrading the coilpacks. And if it is normal how much am i lookin to spend to get a set?

Normal for ageing coils.

New ones are around $550

wat did he get ya for?

Welding a few runs inside the intake pipe to stop turbulance... said it would help steady the car when on idle. that wasn't much though.

Also said he had to re-drill and tap the holes that hold the throttle position sensor on. said the tps was coming loose after a few runs. Since the cars an hour and a half away i cant see it so i just have to say yeah.. do it. But its done now and im pickin it up just tuned to 13psi, no more coin

Before you go spending money and changing coil packs, check that your plugs are gapped at 0.8mm that might help the breaking down with the higher boost.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
