Going for my lunch break at Cox's road, on the way home we stop for fuel.

Just sittin there chattin and hear this screching, then see a taxi push a van past the bowsers, the taxi smash's into the bowsers totally stuffing it up, fuel starts pissing out everywhere... then the taxi goes off into the road and nearly has a head on with another car (it kinda looked like his throttle was jammed open)

I yelled to my mate, Get the F out of here, fuel is pissing out everywhere, we leave and see the taxi man at the set of lights turning left onto epping road and his taxi was making all weird noises.

I think the man was pissed off cos the van might have pushed in the bowser

farrk that was weird.

yeah T7824....

I got a good look at his face at the servo, i know what he looks like. might call up see if they could need any more info.

man thats crazy. :P

did you get the taxi's number or something?

Yeah he totally smashed the bowser to pieces, it looked like the bowser lifted off the ground. (don't think it did)

he was stuck in a queue in traffic. Maybe he realised what he just done and was thinking what to.

I was not hanging around, stuff that. GTFO of there no point hanging around a servo where a couple of bowsers are pissing out fuel.

What??? so the taxi didn't do the runner after ramming the van?

He just goes and waits at the next set of lights? WTF

What did the van guy do?

Good idea on getting the F outta there.

when we passed the taxi, the guy looked really nervous, and you know in GTA, when the car is about to blow up and it makes a noise? the taxi sounded like that. it was soo weird....

felt like getting out of the car and grabbing him out of the car and telling him to go back, but you never know how crazy the guy could be, maybe he is armed or something....

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
