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

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
