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. ;)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
