I just put my pFC into my GTS-T and things are not going well.

I am just running with the base map at the moment and have it booked in for a tune for late jan.

I have a turbo smart bleed valve running 13psi on high and stock on low (about 7psi).

When i have it set to high boost the car runs like some body has put a orange up the exhaust (it almost feels like some sort of really fine ignition cut)?

On stock it run OK, I though it might be the fact that the PFC's base map is not designed for our fuel, or maybe the PFC does not run with bleed valves?

PS, there are no warning lights displayed or anything like that and the car is holding boost so I dont think there are any leaks in the piping for the FMIC or anything like that.

Any idea's

Hi GunMetalR33, I would have someone watch the Commander readout when you are driving it at full boost. If it is retarding the ignition timing or adding some fuel it will show up on the screen. This is not dangerous, in fact the ECU is protecting the engine.

Another issue may be the AFM maxing out its voltage, this is a dangerous situation. You can also easily see this on the Commander. If it is running lean it will result in knock which will show up on the dashboad warning light as well.

I would try running the boost at 10 to 12 psi and see what sort of results you get. It may be at 13 psi you are just "over the limit".

Hope that helps

The base map may be fine for some people but it may not be fine for everyones car with infinite variety of modifications.

I would be watching the commander very closely especially the knock sensor reading.

I found that with the base map on my car it knocked too high at full throttle so i pulled it out until I can get it tuned.

I ran for ages on base map, but with only 0.6bar boost.

When my car went on the dyno to be tuned, I was glad I had kept the boost low, as it was still running very rich on boost and had AF ratios in the 10s.

Once it was tuned at 0.8 bar, with AF ratios at 12, it still had nearly 90% injector duty with stock injectors and fuel pump. Also, my AFM had run out of resolution (5.115V) by this stage too.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
