Project hopeful, no will power
So the tune has gone downhill Sad still cant get enough fuel in to start with. Throttle doesn't feel like I've got enough travel on. (may grind the bit on pump) also my boost has now settled on 1.4 bar again. Probably because I don't have a mbc. One is on order should be here tomorrow. So ill plumb that in and take a look at the pump again tonight hopefully. Smile

That's the idea. Smile 200bhp here I come.... Well at some point.

Anyway. Trying to sort my fueling issues and adjust the pump. Manages to get some more throttle travel and knocked the bit on the pump off while I was at it. Still cant get it to go any further though. Add pics in a sec.

Where it is and where I want it to be.

So im now really annoyed. I think i have an issue! My turbo isnt boosting properly. Thought sod it. Im not driving a slow car home ill disconnect the actuator. Well i did that and the turbos still not boosting well. I either have a boost leak, actuator problem or dying turbo. Just what i dont need right now. Also still struggling getting fuel in with the 11mm. I was expecting it was going to be an issue getting it to stop smoking not me struggling for fuel.

Is it smoking at all?

Sounds like you might have a blocked strainer or similar somewhere if it's clean and not making boost...

Smoking hard under labouring. Just not a lot else where. Ive got a spare filter so ill change that tomorrow and then clean the strainer when i dont have a full tank. Just annoyed about the turbo atm as well!

Go round with the good old fairy liquid and check for leaks!

The turbo won't have failed I seriously doubt, you'd know if it had!

Well ill check for leaks but i think to be honest the actuators probably had it will be my bet. Just all seems to happen at once.

Gt2052s. Small bugger. Anyway ive got a leak tester for boost at work so strapped that on. Boost leak. Big boost leak. So nipped up t clamp. Also checked my actuator. Its at full travel when the actuator is closed. Well it seems to be i cant move the bugger. So slackened it off a touch and im now running 1.2 bar in everygear. Still slow but not as bad as she was. Im hoping the mbc ive got coming will allow me to run the actuator in a more relaxed position and therefore allow me to run more boost by opening later. Hoping for 1.7 bar ish. If i cant hit my target aim ill just sack the turbo off and buy a vnt just go balls out. I mean why the f*ck not right.

THat's the spirit!!


However get it running right before spending money on a new turbo or you might find it's not the turbo that's causing the issue.

Defo check strainer and fuel filter first.

YES!!! FINALLY after all this time cocking about with the 11mm pump and having turbo issues. Ive done it with no help (apart from piggy,ruan,dum dum, serval pump guides online) turbos back and boosting at peak 1.9 bar in 5th got a little haze of smoke and my christ man does she shift. I mean really shift for the first time this feels like driving a fast car rather than a nippy run about. The headbolts are hating it and the clutch is screaming no but i dont care!!!

The three problems. Yes three problems unfortunately all at once. Was 1. Big ass boost leak
2.pump bot delivering enough fuel (finally knocked the bit off the pump to allow extra travel and adjusted to suit along with knocking the lda down to gain some more fueling down low.
3. The actuator was incorrectly adjusted. At its shortest it qasnt even allowing the wastegate to open but due to the boost leak it was compensating and giving me low boost. Adjusted down. I think its still a bit weak as my boost in 2nd and 3rd starts at 1.8 bar and comes down a touch. But it works. Well. And i like it. Smile

Where does your throttle arm rest with no tension on it?

Right against the bit of metal where the anti stool screw used to be. Why?

So my clutch is slowly getting burnt out atm. Saving for a new one. Can pay piggy for headbolts and get them on the way. But on a side note i need a new steering wheel. The current wheel is a base spec 205 wheel which is great. But my car has no pas and the wheels kinda slippy. Anyone have and cheap recommendations for a new\second hand grippy steering wheel.
