Good evening Ladies and Gentleman.

I was just coming back from a little drive when I gave it a bit of a poke, maybe 75% throttle, probably making 13psi when all power was lost and a great plume of black smoke ensured.

I pulled over to the side and the car stalls at idle, I managed to limp it the 1km back home, whilst limping it would not allow me to rev it past 1500rpm without it coughing and spluttering.

Engine is a NEO6 with a newly (<500kms) rebuilt high flow turbo.

You can free rev the engine a bit, bit will stall straight on idle, thinking it maybe the AFM? it does read .05v on the SW check and does change voltage with a light rev though.

Hoping it's not the turbo as it's freshly rebuilt, AND I am supposed to be leaving for QLD tomorrow morning, grrr.

If anyone could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you've blown a cooler pipe off

That's what I thought too, I checked for that...

But I didn't see the one that was blown off! oops

Thanks for that mate, seem like a bit of a goose now, but a now happy goose, I'll put that sucker back on and hopefully we'll be laughing.

I am moving to Queensland, leaving tomorrow actually, I've heard good things about ERD, I'll give you a call when I need work done, thanks mate :)

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
