I was driving just before and my car was not runing right...

It would hesitate to accelerate and a funny sound would come from the exhaust (bwaaaa) almost like it wasn't firing or something, the boost stayed normal?

This isnt the first time, It doesn't miss fire/pop or anything, it just took allot longer to rev out??

i would check fuel pressure and filter make sure it actually getting fuel there, and when my air flow meter plug was a bit lose i would get the same problem, with inacurate readings from your flow meter this would cause the car to either not run or run really rich. but from the sounds of what you have discribe that so sound like your cat even though it is fine. verry odd.

Mate its about time you took the car to a decent workshop to get it checked out.

All your threads seem to point to one thing - you car has issues, they need a professional to look into.

mate, i have been to four mechanics, two of them rep tuners, two of them searched for the problem with obviosly no success, that cost me $400, $200 each.

so im trying to find the problem myself...

when my car had issues with the stock coils, it sounded like a wrx, ie dropped a cylinder. That very distinctive boxer style rumble.

could be coils i suppose.

have had you compression/leak down tests down? checked timing belt? etc...

Mate you can't even describe the problem in accurate detail, troubleshoot parts or anything.

Im not having a go at you, but honestly people can keep throwing suggestions at you for the next month and you'll still not get it fixed.

There are decent workshops in each state for this type of thing. Failing one there is always a 2nd choice.

Now i find it hard to believe you've been too two reputable workshops - not tuners - workshops. This is a mechanical issue unrelated to the cars tune.

Just a quick one and no i'm not being a smart ass but check there isn't something preventing you from getting wide open throttle, like a car mat or the like? has happened before and not getting 100% throttle opening could be what you're experiencing. Good luck hope you figure it out.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
