I don't know what cat he's running but the current 80mm Apexi super cats are 130cpi which is awesome.

They are also $1200 - $1400....

ouch.

Probably as awesome as their cat backs with 2.5" reducers inside.

Back on topic, I reckon with the de-cat his problems will go away, if not I think there's a "boost" rag somewhere in his pipe work. We've all been there before :D

Ok so the car has been chucked on the Dyno and it pulled 282kw with the de cat still a bit of where it should be

If they won't dyno it with the exhaust dropped do it yourself at home.

Yep, maybe the catback section to the muffler is more restrictive than the cat itself. Needs to be dynoed with front pipe only as I originally suggested and done myself to get a clear baseline of what's what. Are they saying they won't dyno it like that ?

Currently making them do that right now 

Ok so I took the cat straight off back on the dyno made 292kw boost spiked half a pound so there wasn’t much loss between previous run of 282kw with de cat and exhaust. I was expecting to see boost come on quicker still took until 4100-4200rpm. I’m being told valve springs are the issue and change the cooler

There's no evidence of valve springs on the charts, so unless they have good reason to say they think there's float, do the cooler first.

And by "do the cooler", I don't mean replace it. I mean tap into the pipe up and downstream of it and check the actual pressure drop across it.

A 10 kw improvement suggests there is an exhaust restriction so check the rear muffler at least. Stock cooler should be capable of more so as above check pressure either side. And consider trying another tuner.

I’m changing to a 3.5inch x force exhaust now and also doing a cooler pressure check, dare say I’ll be changing the cooler I gained 25kw just in exhaust restrictions so far. What’s to say my cooler isn’t stuffed at this point.Not gonna throw money at springs and cams just yet I’ll do a power run and report back also on the last run it had some slight mis fire on the 292kw run coil pack harness seems to be the suspect as I have brand new coil packs 

That slight misfire could also be CAS related, see if they've got the CAS filter enabled, I find Level 1 ~ 2 works well, but a brand new CAS or a trigger kit (crank, better cam, not as good as crank but better than the CAS) will fix heaps of problems.

Just checking - what coil packs did you get?

How is your fuel pump wired?  And how is the A/F ratio and injector duty cycle? 

I am asking because I had an episode with my pump not getting enough voltage.  The A/F ratio was fine but injector duty cycle was maxed out prematurely, and I lost about a good 40kw.

Yeh but surely the tuner would figure that out pretty quickly.

The tuner figured out OP needs a cooler and valve springs.  I think it's pretty obvious those two items are getting the no confidence vote here.

Fuel pump is getting getting 12v that was checked when on the Dyno. Not sure what the duty cycle on injectors are I’ll find out.

    • 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.
