ok.
ive only owned my r for a week.
when i put my foot down the turbo spools in and the boost increases as you would imagine.
instead of stopping at .7 or a bar as you would imagine, it keeps going. my first and only time doing this the car exhaust popped/backfired and i lost power (i felt underfueling as the boost gauge went above 1.5 bar). i thought actuator or boost leak or wastegate.
now my plumbed in guage which runs from intercooler to inlet sits on 0 bar all the time untill acceleration where it will rise. it never reads negative vacume pressure but the standard guage does. i tested my other guage and it works fine. I suspected vacume lines so took off all pipes. they were perished but i could not see obvious splits. the intercooler looks in good nick. the car has no boost controller.
further from this i has put another boost guage accross the actuator and it only just goes into positive pressure on acceleration. i also put my compressor on the actuator while its on the car and put it up to 80psi and it never bled it off! the dumpvalve doesnt go off but there is vacum pressure at it- though this is the only hose ive not full checked as its so hard to get right onto its origin nipple.
any ideas guys?
ive orderd new samco all round and a new actuator but the parts arnt here yet. if the turbos comming off then i might as well uprate it?
this cars a bloody curse- should have stuck to my evos
one week and this has happened-
overboosting,
pass window wont go up from driver side now,
some kids left bricks on the road-cracked bumper missing tow eye cover, smashed headlight and indicator,
new ordered headlight arrives smashed,
ordered samco forgotten to be sent,
flat tyre today- turns out to be inside wheel corrossion
and another one for today, fuel flap wouldnt open for 20mins had to use screw driver and push on the other side.
im feeling quite down. i really cant be arsed to take the turbo off as i have a feeling ill snap a few bolts in the head bend a few oil pipes and get trapped under the car in the process:frusty:
