hi,

my cars been at the rolling road today,it made 338 bhp but its only running 8psi,everytime they tried to turn the boost up it was just shooting up to a bar and spinning the wheels,i`ve left the car with them the operater seems to think its a sticking wastegate,has anyone else come across this problem?cheers milly

the people at the rolling road rang me today to say both my actuators are holding pressure fine,they now seem to think its a problem with either the boost controller or some vacum/boost hose.i`ve took this to be good news(engine doesn`t have to come back out)so fingers crossed they may find the problem tommorro when they get there "main man" to look at it.

 

...everytime they tried to turn the boost up it was just shooting up to a bar and spinning the wheels...

 

And the problem with that is?:lol::lol:

when they say bhp, is that at the wheels or at the fly. is the standard 276bhp at the wheels or fly?

Standard manufacturers figures are corrected to indicate power at the flywheel, so I was told, i.e. should be about 40-50HP less at the wheels.

Mine was making 301BHP at the wheels, corrected to 360 odd at the flywheel (and a fat 400ft/lb torque)

Can you get a trace of the boost curve?? Sounds like a massive boost spike, perhaps try smoothing the curve if possible with your controller, certainly works on an AVC-r.

 

Cheers

figure is at the wheels,its back on the rollers today so fingers crossed they find the problem 90% its a boost controller problem!!!!!

How did you get on then? Did they manage to resolve the boost issue? What were you're final figures?

 

cheers

i`ve started another post(greddy e0-1) there saying boost controller is faulty i`m not so sure no,i`m fetching the car back tommorro
