Hey everyone, my first post.

I have been having problem with my r32 gtst. It used to only happen once a month, but now days is happening almost everyday.

The stalling happens when i am stopped at the traffic lights or turning a corner (slowing down). I read other posts similar to the problem i am having and recommended that i remove the atmospheric BOV. which i have done and now my car is running a return flow BOV (stock one).

After replacing the BOV i didn't have any problem for few month. due to this unknown problem I am scared/ not confident to drive the car.

Can anybody give me suggestions to why this is happening or give me already existing posts i can read up on.

thanks peeps.

When you fitted your bov back, did you plumb it back properly and check there are no vacuum leaks? I'm going to guess you are on stock ecu. After you've made sure all your pipes are tight and plumbed properly, unplug your battery and let the car sit for about 30 minutes to naturally discharge everything in the car. Connect the battery give the car a few drives and let it adjust to the new conditions.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
