Total Loss of power.. Mods are..

-Apexi power fc d jetro (no mafs). Mods are:

-Turbosmart boost controller

-K&N induction

-turbo back 3" SS exhaust

-2 x Garrett GT3076s.

I lost all boost when driving a couple of weeks back. Have checked the plumbing for leaks, turbos, DVs, Engine compression.. all seems fine. Injector opening on the dashtop display indicates 10% at 100% throttle and boost is -0.30 at full throttle. No misfires, burning is good, consumption is fine. Please help! :thumbsup:

test as close to the turbos as you can for boost. No boost = actuator/turbo related

If there is, you've got leaky piping

And considering you have two turbo's, its fairly unlikely they both blew @ the same time, you should still be making some boost so i still suspect leaky piping or similar

I actually suspected the turbos at 1st and ordered brand new ones from ATP. You can imagine the shock I got when I saw no boost after installation! Actuators are HKS and are working fine. Funny thing is a couple of days ago the boost actually went back to 1.2bar and held briefly (2 minutes) before dropping back to -0.30 bar! Very confusing.. am actually losing hair over this. ;)

Damn.. u may be right! Thinking about it, I'd stuffed some newspaper in the piping when I sent bits for polishing. The problem started the day I put everything back. But funny thing is, the boost came back briefly a couple of days ago then disappeared again. It's not even giving me atmospheric pressure man! The gauge reads -0.30 at full throttle! Too frustrating. ;)

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
