Finally got my car back today :) Although I don't think the wheel alignment was done properly, steering feels a lot heavier and for some reason the car feels slower :\

maybe you got excited for boost but was let down by stock.

time for some hypergear + scotty hi-flow.

Always took simon for a receiver, not a giver.

This I can confirm!

Have a look down near your Alternator, in front of it (sort of below more so), theres a power steering line which should have a sensor tee'd into it. See if someones undone that plug as it's fairly common cause of the steering being heavy.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. I had a quick look at my car tonight (through the heavy rain) and I think they've done the alignment completely wrong though, seems the camber (and possibly toe) are out, which explains why it feels slower as well.

Did you get your Alignment printout? Get it fixed if they've screwed it up badly (it's gotta be hellishly out if its actually causing so much drag you can feel it being slower)... and it'd be munching through tyre already

Nope, the panel beaters took it to another shop to get the alignment done so I don't have any documentation. I knew I should have sent them an e-mail with the wheel alignment specs, most shops are horrible at getting the right specifications for imports. I remember on my last car when I needed a wheel alignment and I told them I have the specs for it, they just said "Don't worry, we'll work it out" and I foolishly believed them. Got the car back and it was terribly out of alignment, they are just too lazy to look it up.

I'll be calling up tomorrow to get them to fix it, because it definitely doesn't handle as well before the alignment.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
