ok, this is exceptionally weird

the past 2 weeks or so whenever i have turned the car on, the turbo has spun fine.

although today i modified the oil intake as it was leaking the old way.

and when the car starts, the turbo spins and then just gradually slows down and comes to a COMPLETE STOP

and on idle, it just sits there, no spinning.

give it some juice, and it spins fine, but let it fall back to idle and it slows to a stop.

this kinda freaked me out, because i am just about ready to get the exhaust made and thats all that left to do.

and now this.

so please boost help me.

ok, no there is no evidence of scratches on the walls, so the blades are not hitting the side. and i cant move the shaft so there is no shaft play, although i can easly spin the turbing, and both the intake wheel and exhaust wheel have no obvious problems, everything looks 100% perfect. but it just doesnt spin at low revs.

its weird

its a new T04e turbo

HELP

its a china turbo, reason being that i want to see how they work as i am using the car as a track car only

wastegate is fine, working as it should.

as soon as i give it some herbs it spins, the boost guage indicates boost is being made and it appears to be fine.

when i stop, it just chills and slows down

its common for the china stuff to stop spinning at idle....

some turbos spin at idle, ball bearing types would be easier than normal but all comes down to exhaust wheel getting enough gas to spin and engine creating enough vacume to drag the wheel around

if turbo is large then prob wont spin at idle unless its got sufficent gas to turn it

track car using china turbos

oh the humanity :)

Hope it holds together and doesn't make mince meat out of your motor

well experimenting with different turbos and sizes before making the final selection, and simply do not have the budget to get the top of the range for all of them.

as much as i would like to lol.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
