hey guys, was at a mates house today and decided to put in a manual boost controller, went for a drive, put my foot into it just a little, it spiked... so i pulled over, wound it down... got back in the car, cruised for about 2 minutes then got onto a straight bit of road and gave it another squirt... it almost choked up, coughing and spluttering and so on, took my foot off... when i went to put my foot down again, i hear a noise like a siren, i look around only to find the sound is coming from my car... so now i cant make boost, no matter how hard my foot is on the accelerator, it sounds like its coming from the inside the pod filter... so i go back to my mates house and pull it apart, all the way down to the turbo blades, checked it and nothing caught in there or any of the piping, put it all together again but still making the noise... i took the boost controller off but still it makes the same noise...

SO... was just wondering if any of you guys have ever had this issue or know what it is at all... just lost my job two days ago so cant really afford to go and get another one... any help would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers

Guy

maybe, was a bit dark to finish the elimination process... so tomorrow morning ill check piping and all... spoke to hyperdrive and they reckon might be a leak on the manifold or exhaust somewhere... not sure, but the noise is really loud, like almost copper siren loud... just odd!

Be careful. If its the bearing then the turbo will be spinning out of alignment. Hence the fins are spinning into the housing. Slowly feeding ur engine small metal filings. Did the boost gauge move to like 10psi? or nothing? Blow IC piping = no + boost

yeah it did before it stopped... now it just sits on 0... wont go past it

If it was blown turbo, wouldnt there be smoke?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
