Hey guys

installed an e-01 last night...

The settings were taken off a the previous owners 34 gt-t

i drove it all last night and this morning and boost was holding at 0.88 bar to 0.96 max which is 13PSI

I take it for a spin tonight for a cruise...and i do the proper warm up etc....and drop her into 2nd put the foot down...everythings fine till 5000rpm not paying attention at psi reading and POP POP POP car starts jerking and i have to pull over....

Ever since then theirs no control on the boost...by 4000rpm im at 12 psi at 7000rpm (ive only gone their twice...too scared now) its reached around 20PSI

Ive tried turning the boost controller off...no luck...tried altering settings no luck...

I obvoulsy have to take it to a workshop and get it properly tuned....but would have tonights spiking to 23 about 4 or 5 times ****ed my car in anyway?

Ive got FMIC and GCG highflow...

Wat could the possible problems be? Settings from previous owner (34gt-t) not right for my car?

BUt it was working all last night and this morning holding at 0.88 bar...now after 4000rpm it just hits 22 psi :D

As Meggala said, go back over everything that you did and check all the air and electrical connections. If you can't find anything wrong, then put it back exactly the way it was before you installed the e-01.

So its definately not a setting problem?

I even turned the boost controller "OFF" and it still spiked to 20 every single time

Does the spiking to 20 wreck my car in anyway?

Im going outside to check the hoses now...cheers

Checked all the hoses and everything...no holes nothing...

I didnt installl the e-01...so im not sure what im looking at...

I see 2 hoses connected to the greddy valve...one going to the intercooler...one going to a gold round thing...both those hoses are in tact..

IN between those 2 hoses...i found a smaller hose...which aint connected to anything...i tried to follow where the start of it is...but lost it under the fmic piping...

I then followed the electrical wiring...its all in tact aswell :D

Could it be the wrong settings or something? it seemed basic...like i tapped in

Gain 10

Start Psi 2.7

Limiter - Constant

Set Psi - 7.7

id thought it hold at 7.7 instead it goes to 20+ :D:) and their no holes or nothing in the rubber pipes

My guess is the pipework to wastegate actuator has blown/fallen/dropped off. I suggest you take it back to whoever fitted the boost controller and have them fix it. In the interim don't drive it on boost.

If you want to have one more go yourself, then you need to find the wastegate actuator. It's on the turbo, has a rod comming out of one side and a hose out the other. Follow that hose until you find where was blown/dropped/fell off from and reconnect it.

Hope that helps :D

is the wastegate actuator a gold thingy? near this sort of round water holder with a black cap?

i have 2 hoses coming of my boost valve...one leading to fmic and one leading to a goldy thing? is the goldy thing the wastegate actuator?

If so.,..the hose from the boost valve to the gold thingy...is in tact mate

Such a MINOR problem :cheers:

Thanks to Dr Drift - Sam who fixed the problem in an instant...

The valve had spun around...not securely fixed so it moved and bent the hose around...too me it looked the right way but it wasnt...so the hose was bent

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
