Surging under light throttle?

Hey all,

Quick question that's been bugging me for a while. I get a sudden drop off of power under light throttle. Can happen in any gear, mostly in 5th gear when accelerating lightly from 100+km/h and backing off the throttle slowly.

Now I know this is due to the fact that the boost is dropping off sharply, but I can't pinpoint why. I've tried adjusting my BOV and it didn't seem to make a difference and it's really starting to bug me.

Ideas? Comments? Help?

I have the same problem with my car expect the surging happens when I am at a constant throttle trying to hold a fixed speed. I have an FPC and I turned off the O2 control and the problem goes away. But my gas milage suffers. I guess in my case a new O2 sensor may fix the problem.

I don't think it's anything to do with fuel regs or O2 sensors as I have no other problems with the car.

Boost controller - not sure about this one. I run a HKS EVC4 and it works a treat. Haven't had any problems with it getting the set amount of boost happening..

boo5t - I tend to agree that it's a BOV problem.. just not sure how to fix it.. perhaps SK has an answer? He usually does.. :rant:

this is definity o2 sensor (not like the problem descrided in this thread) as you hold fixed throddle position the ecu switches from map to closed loop control on the fuel system and with the pfc as you have done you can disable this closed loop function and uses the map only with cause the heavy fuel use , so buy new o2 and save some $$ on fuel. :rant:

Piggy Backs? well what my thinking was , was basically tune around light throddle was out or out because other facts. As most dyno tunes will not even look at parts of tune off the std power pull path (ie light throddle etc).

my surgestion would be most like check all or analog input (throddle sensor,o2 sensors etc)

and if no luck buy apex pfc and get a good tune to ozzy condition and fuel.

sorry cant be of more help.

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
