This is regarding a friend of mines car ('Ben' on here - no posts yet the lazy salmon...). He recently had it in the garage for a new turbo (T2) and a FMIC. All been fitted now and the cars running fairly well.
At first as soon as it came out of the garage:-
- Idled badly when cold, pump must have been a bit retarded, fair bit of white smoke (Idled fine hot)
- 26psi (Turbo had obviously been fiddled before, was bought off ebay....)
- Pulled fairly well, but was obvious it wasnt at full potential, not much power after 4k
- Clean on boost, no smoke at all
- Slower overall than the previous setup (GT15 @ 20psi and TMIC)
The other day we had a go at sorting it out. I advanced the pump a bit, assuming this would cure the idle and also cure the lack of fuelling top end. Also would in another 2 turns on the max fuel as it was running clean on boost previously. Started it up and went for a test drive!
- Idled nicely from cold , no white smoke
- Still 26psi
- Pulled much better low down and mid range, still pathetic after 4k.
- Smokey on boost
- Quicker than the GT15/TMIC setup
Baring in mind the pump has been gov modded, any idea what the problem could be? Pump is almost fully advanced and theres plenty of fuel/air going in.
Also worth noting theres a bit of a leak from the turbo/downpipe atm, possibly related?!?!
Help XUD gods :pray:
Thanks :fooby:
