Well, I go to work all day and come home to a lcoked thread full of arguing...soo let me just tell you guys something....


---- me and call me crazy but for some reason when I put on my turbine intake pipe tonight it boosted liek it should. I neevr would have thought not using a filter would cause it not to boost. I thought BBKA was using a screen on his turbo as well. (I was just driving with a screen until my CAI was done...)
Is this a common problem? Its building boost normally now with no problems at all. Now I just need to go extremely easy on it until I tune it.

Thansk for the suggestions guys but just remember to ask teh next guy that comes along, if he has a filter on his turbo or not.

***On a sidenote. When I was testing it out it was at partial throttl so I could monitor the boost levels as they slowy build. not liek I went out and wailed on it. Also, I think limp mode only kicks in when you hit that level of boost that is over 2 psi for a couple seconds. It DOES NOT cut into limp mode immediately ince you hit boost.

I'm just gonna say, that we were going to tune but J.Davis had to cancel the appointment. We are not boosting right now, just driving it w/otu boost till we go tune which should hopefully be this coming week.

a filter should not affect the problem. if anything a filter restricts airflow and would hinder spooling. that wasnt your problem, bottom line.

didnt mess with anything else and now its working properly. What was the problem?

I wasnt even testing it to see if it would work. it just went up and I was liek oh ---- and let off.

sounds more like you're wastegate is intermittently working and not working. do you have a friend with an external gate you could toss on for a few minutes to test run? a filter on your turbo will NOT make a difference in terms of building boost or not building boost at all. like i said before, at the most it would just not spool as quickly.

ps - there are tech forums for this kinda ----.

I got one that he can test.

Sorry but Jigga man owned himself; cursing and acting liek a 14 year old when we all read his thoughts on it. He came in being an *** and continued on with it. It's rediculous for him to try and make his point over and over and over again, when we ALL know it isnt safe to run boost without fuel management.

I was doing 2 psi (maybe) for like a second at partial throttle so I could monitor boost levels. Nobody in teh real world tests their stuff when they out it on before they go tune their cars? Woudl be a big ------- waste of time if you got where ever it was to tune and found you have a problem that wont let you boost or something.

Jigga man

You're still an idiot and I pointed the fact out to everyone. Putting my name in the title of this thread isn't going to solve anything you ------- dumbass.
