I have an external wastegate that is venting to the atmosphere and i want to connect it to the exhaust. I don't know if I should connect before the o2 sensor of after as I was thinking of the affect it would have on fuel economy and performance.

Also another issue I have is when I depress the clutch while driving the car stalls but only at a decent speed.

One more thing is that my exhaust temp light goes on after a decent drive and a bit of a heavy foot and car goes into limp mode for a minute.

Please help have had this car for 7 years and since power fc and wastegate just not enjoyable anymore

Thanks

wow kinda all over the place

ok replumbing the external gate shouldnt affect fuel economoy or performance (only if your exhaust is ass it might)

i would replumb the entry point after the 02 sensor

pressing in clutch at high speed and stalling is related to either idle RPM not set (ie too low or high) or you didnt do self idle adjustment properly (covered in PFC FAQ)

check the idle RPM settings and see if you can tweak these a little. if no good you will to do DATA INIT (copy your tune first) then do self idle adjust.

exhaust temp light is NOT used in powerfc

the exhaust temp light is RED

do you mean orange check engine light?

the powerfc users this when a sensor has failed or is outside range

when this happens view ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK. the dead sensor will be blackhighlighted

the powerfc, much like the stock ECU has limp mode for basic sensor failure

this is usually the TPS or AFM. either of these can trigger limp mode, ie rev cap at 2500rpm and shit mappings to save the engine from blowing up

I got carried away in my post.

The light was orange so it must of been engine , I saw it for a second and thought it looked different. I will check what you mentioned.

I cleaned the aac and afm and made difference in performance and idle but there must be something else going on too.

Thanks heaps

    • 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?
