Weird Problem Need Help (R33 GTST)

[Eav00l]

Ok here it is, u may remember me posting up about an AFM issue, that turned out to be a Turbo issue, now i have been told to look further into it.

Hereis the problem

The car was running really rich, idle at 300rpm and run like a dog, i took the AFM out and cleaned it (found oil all over it)with some contact cleaner, put it back in and it worked fine for about 2 days. I was told it may be a blown poil seal in the turbo.

Ok ive tried, putting the stock ECU back in fromt he Apexi PFC didnt fix it.

Now i have a stock turbo at my mates house that i can use and i was going to replace it on the weekend, but my mate has told me to slow down a bit and look outside the square.

i also notice a minor vacum leak inside the engine bay.

have you come across this before?

How can i fix it?

Its reall Urgent as it is my everyday car.

If you have a quick fix either post it here or call me on the number below

thx

maybe the fact that your car is idling at 300rpm?

Considering the first clean fixed it, maybe its just dirty again

The oil is coming from the foam filter your are probably using that someone got carried away with oiling recently? :Oops:

I usually use wd40 and metho then set the centre resistor on fire with a gas lighter for a few seconds to clean everything off and dry it out.

Dont forget the ECU usually cooks it up when you switch off to try to do the same thing.

i took the AFM off to clean it again and it looked relitivaly clean, so i still cleaned it but since then it still plays up, so now im thinking its not the AFM/TURBO
