hey guys the popping on de acceleration has been getting worse for awhile and last night at the drags made it ten times worse. Orginally i thought the cat had shit itself but i had it on a hoist today and the exhuast is all good. And there appears to be no exhaust leaks and no intake leaks and it is holding boost what can course this poping. It appears to be down on power as well. I am hoping that a spike to 16 psi last night down the strip hasnt affected the stock turbo.

its normal to have abit of popping, my pops it ass off normally :)

If you think its excessive or getting worse i would check for intake leaks, just simple things like tight hose clamps and all vacuum hoses are on tight with cable ties. What bov are you running? Could that be leaking slightly?

Also what ecu are you running? stock or tuned?

if the turbo is still boosting fine without funny noises it should be ok, a quick 16psi spike wont hurt it, continous high boost will.

Also remember it is summer now, turbo cars hate the heat so its normal to have a significant drop in power during the day aswell.

lol yeah its good but mine sounds pritty bad more like a old shit box back firing but instead its poping lol i will check the cooler pipes and extra tomorrow. It has a stock ecu but its been retuned by toshi and i am running a stock bov

check your plugs for fouling,

my gtr runs pretty rich, and starts backfiring after about 2 months, especially in summer, the plugs will soot up, i just clean them and problem gone........

hope this works for ya

i will check the plugs there only alittle bit over a month old and the o2 sensor is good its not old at all and tested it a couple of weeks ago and i would mind the pop if it wasnt to excessive but it is quiet bad

I had a problem similar to this turned out to be a leaking o-ring in an injector.

however it can be a number of things a small vacume leak, plugs, afm, 02 sensor. since plugs and 02 sensor are newish i would look at clean afm, then change fuel filter (never know) then look for any fuel leaks

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
