This happened when my timing was out a little bit at cruise loads, after a 15 min drive at 100km/h :) (just an oversight.. thats what you get when you drink too much rum the night before then try tune on V and Pies :) )

I have pictures of EVERYTHING! LOL. Like to keep my work documented.

Was that timing or Afr's? If so what was wrong Too lean Or 2 Advanced

Wasn't any recommended brands in there.

Also wrt to the boost gauge. Is it going to give an incorrect reading where it is? Or is it just not good to have it there.?

It's on the line that controls the fuel pressure so if it pops off for any reason then you can do some damage.

Try moving it to the back of the plenum against the fire wall just tap into the factor vac line

It will run off a nipple (har har I said nipple)

Heads towards the brake booster into a little black box.

If you cant find it send me a message and I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow

So if the timing is too retarded then the air will still be in a state of combustion during the exhaust stroke and this extra pressure that usually drives the cylinder down will begin to spool the turbo?

Why would an atmospheric blow off valve cause boost to build in neutral?

It won't.

They will all make some boost on free rev. Just not 10psi. More like 1-2psi and that's purely due to exhaust volume and turbine speed. If your ignition timing is retarded it makes the engine work harder/labour more and therefore will build more boost. Probably still not 10psi

^ Yeah from reading 10psi seems to be a bit. I can hear the turbo spooling up so I don't think it's faulty boost gauge. Builds boost gradually until I take my foot of the accelerator. Any idea? Ill try get a video up in the next day.

Still going to check the timing anyways.

Well I hope it isn't the timing being too retarded as my CAS has next to no adjustment left to advance it(Almost turned as far counter-clockwise as it can). I haven't had the time to get a timing light and really play around with it yet, just having study breaks and speculating/stressing out.

If the timing is too retarded and I can't advance it far enough, could this be due a mistake being made when the timing belt had been replaced?

    • 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  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
