Bg5 tt issues


Ross

Recommended Posts

I drive a legacy bg5 and i need some help identifying what issues my car has. Issue 1 is that on a cold start I have noticed I get alot of what is possibly steam out of my exhaust? No noticeable smell like burnt oil or coolant just happens every morning in what I think is an excessive amount. I have a catless primary down pipe also a small but consistent loss of coolant, haven't been able to locate the leak and am unsure whether these could be related. 

 

Another issue I've been having is this persistent smell of oil or over fueling when on primary boost, have a replacement turbo to drop just haven't had the time to install yet, I suspect it's the primary leaking oil because I have oil within the tmic but could it also be a leaking injector causing the smell? Or the white smoke on cold start due to running rich? Just done a 5000kms service and my oil was pretty darn black,  Anyone know where I can get them serviced? Any input is appreciated, cheers

Your first issue is too many turbos. If it's just steam, as in water vapour, don't worry. Sign of a healthy engine. Burning coolant stinks, and really stings the eyes, so you'd know if it was that. Oil smoke is blueish, so again, you'd know. Maybe time for a pressure test to pinpoint that coolant leak? If the pressure drops, clamp the lines on both sides of the turbo. If the pressure drop stops, you've found your leak.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
