hi, having a bit of trouble with my car, only mod is a full 3 inch exhaust, and the recepace all purpose boost setting.

seems to take a long time to rev out.. like once it gets to about 4,500 rpm there is no more power coming and i can hear the turbo sort of 'screaming'...

also at lower rpm, like just starting to boost, the turbo definatly makes a 'rattling' sound like bearing maybe, as well as a more pronounced induction noise, and a general lack of performance. This has been happening for a while before the exhaust went on but now its a bit worse.

ive checked and at least no oil in radiator or smoke out exhaust.

Ive looked for any leaking lines from turbo and cooler but cant see any..

I was guessing i maybe need a fmic to cope with the extra boost as the problems get worse once i have been driving for half hour(ish)

I'll be taking it to mechanics in the next few weeks but any ideas would still be a good help

cheers

Put a boost gauge on it and see what its doing in terms of boost. Besides that its hard to give advice without experiencing it first hand. Was it doing that before you fitted the racepace boost setting you mentioned?? If not revert back to stock and eliminate causes.

PS: you dont need a FMIC it will only reduce intake temps. This is a problem that needs to be rectified before anymore work is done to the car in terms of power gains.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
