Happy birthday!

[gfwc]

Thanks a lot, chaps! :)

Picked up new turbo last night.

It was supposed to be a 150 hybrid... Got home and got it out and it's only a 130, so am a little sad :(

It's now fitted on the car, but drives like **** for some reason.

Very little boost, also sometimes there is 0 boost, slow right down and then try again and it comes back.

Also more black smoke... Probably because of the unbirnt fuel because no boost!

Can't be bothered to look at it now so just going to investigate tomorrow.

Might need mapping again mate. What turbo did you take off?

[Dark_Hero]

Wasn't a massive boost leak was it?

It was at first Charlie, and I thought it kind of fixed it, but the boost was still on or off.

Sometimes I'd put my foot down and Notbing would happen except black smoke coming out.

Definitely needs mapping, but not going to bother as the turbo is going back, because it's not a 150. Which it was supposed to be.

[Dark_Hero]

Fair enough mate. You can still get decent results from a hybrid130

It's going to have to stay, because I can't get my old turbo back.

Now I'm upset, cause it's not what I want. And the car runs like a bag of ****, just before going to brands in 2 weeks time.

[danny6189]

What did you do with your old turbo?

[gfwc]

What did you do with your old turbo?

I sold it mate, but the person can't sell it back to me.

Never mind :(

[danny6189]

Best get it mapped again. Send gee a pm about the map. He's is going well now.

[devonutopia]

Was the new turbo properly setup in advance (actuator and stopscrew) ??

 

This is normally something done at the point of installation using VCDS.  Boost logging will show if actuator is bad - duty cycle gives clues whether rod needs shortening or lengthening.

Aparently all set up, but I'll do some logs and see what happens.

What figues am I looking for, jase?

Already messaged Gee, thanks mate.

Need it mapped asap, but also need FMIC.

I'm poor! Haha

[BossFox]

You've already bought an FMIC.

It's just waiting for collection...

[danny6189]

I'm poor! Haha

I know that feeling!!!!!!!!!

That makes a considerably happy George.

Just need to get the funds to get there!

Likely to be Thursdsy.

[gfwc]

Really can't get my head around this boosting issue.

It must be the map.

Or as Jason says - the stop screw settings.

Going to have to live with it for a while.

Maybe I'll sell the air ride haha

[gfwc]

All my woes and chatter has left the page with a distinct lack of photos

Old (beloved) turbo coming out

No pics of the new one I'm afraid.

[Dark_Hero]

Went past your car at 2 this morning it looked great

[faboka vrs]

Run a group 11 boost log.

[Southy]

As John says run logs on it, he has worked wonders on my car and now runs and pulls amazing.

If you need any more indepth help with your pipework too, message me on here pal, easier than trying to explain on Instagram.

Yours however is gleaming!

Thanks mate, I will do

The whole pipework thing is a tad confusing.

Far easier if I just had a shopping list and then just bought all the bits. When i cease to be poor haha
