at first… the car woudln’t even hold a boost…
but after I changed the fuel filter… it’ll hold a boost
but not the max boost
I’ll try to explain
ok my boost gauge is like this… -5 | 0 | +5
simple one. .
before. the filter change… it would go to the half way mark btw 0 and +5
and the car would stall and restart as it is moving
well after the fuel filter change… my car can hold the boost a the same half way mark now
but… if I try to floor the gas pedal (open throttle) as the boost goes beyond the half way mark on the boost gauge… about 4000 rpms…
the car stalls… then restarts b/c the car is moving
so basically I can’t even get to the +5 boost
does anyone ever had this problem w/ a turbo car?
the car doens’t have a BOV in it… , just straight from the turbo to the intake…
sounds like you might need a fuel pump, although a walburo is not needed for a stock ca application.
my car also did that right after i swapped my engine because vacume was not set up right.
do a cold compression test and check out your turbo, maybe your idiotic lack of a BOV has blown your turbo force feeding your engine shrapnel. and just because you’re building boost, doesn’t mean your turbo isn’t fried.
do that before going out and buying a new pump you don’t necessarily need.
