Plan for the day was to head over to dyno centre at 08.30 this morning to have the fueling checked as we had changed the inlet system to improve air flow. Then head on up straight from there.
The fueling was fine but the car was 20% down on torgue and was also about 20bhp down. With the changes we made things should have gone up not down. Also the turbo was a hell of a lot laggier than it had ever been. On the way down there I did notice that the boost seemed to creep up as apposed to going straight up. :?
After 3 1/2 hours of trying to sort it the problem has been linked to the wastegate which would appear to be either stuck in the open position or the diaphram has gone
A quick call to Fitz at TopBoss and he agreed . So we now have to take the car over to Fitz in the morning to see about sorting the problem....Bollocks.
The only saving grace is that last year we bought a new wastegate but never fitted it.
To get to the wastegate you either have to remove the turbo and one of the heads or remove part of the suspension and the anti rollbar so not a simple job.
Once it's done we will need to have it set up again......so thats us out :x
