Any symptoms? Splutter? Missing?

Had anything in or out?

Tried to clean anything when all of this happened?

Why was it running even at 0.5bar when it should have been 0.8 on a squirt?

changed the oil not long before it happened and the car has always been runnig on 0.5 since i got the car last year.

other than that the car is running good.

If you are going off the stock MFD, can you tell what it reads as idle?

Have a listen at idle in the engine bay for hissing too. Theres a thin vacuum hose that goes from the rear of the engine to the sensor pickup near the driver side strut tower. Have a feel for leaks.

Mine split ever so slightly near the join. Symptom was almost no vacuum on the boost gauge and had the same issue when giving a slight boot. You would also occassionally see a bit more fuel in your exhaust.

One thing that can do it is a collapsed cat. It happened on my last car.

hi mate i checked the cat today and found the exhaust was leaking from both sides, but the cat it self was ok. i changed the gaskets but it ends up it wasent the problem. i found the pipe that goes to the boost sensor was broken from behind the engine. but thanks for all your help.

sounds like you got it sorted, but for workshops i would highly recommend Status Tuning (soon to be Chequered Tuning) and also of course Race Pace Motorsports if you need the car checked.

Any mods yet? Trent (Status Tuning) can work some real magic if you need something tuned :)

south dandenong and bayswater, off the top of my head - Status is deadset easy to get to, very close to EastLink. Don't know about RacePace.

doesn't really matter anyway. If it takes a while to get to a good tuner, it takes a while to get to a good tuner. It is EASILY worth the time/effort to take your car to a place that knows what they're doing.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
