Legacy BE5 CEL help

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, my check engine light intermittently on, randomly on and off. When it does come on, i step on the gas, and cant feel turbo come in, it could either mean my transmission doesnt wana downshift from 4th (its an auto) so it takes 10 years to rev up and gain speed at low km/h until it hit thats 2.5-3k rpm mark, or my turbo straight up feels like its not coming in at all. But usually it just turns on and off fully randomly, when it turns off the car acts like normal as if nothing happened, turbo feeling 100% there. Ive also tried to force it to 1st and 2nd gear when the check engine light is on, nowhere near as responsive nor feels normal at turbo rpm. This has been going on for months now, and nothing bads happened to the car yet, theres no code that tells me anything about an engine issue either, it really realistically feels like the turbo fins get stuck and dont wana work, then suddenly it gets some lubrication again and unsticks itself and spools. No clue whats going on, perhaps someone has some insight or ideas? its a 2001, dont really want to replace turbo, or take out turbo, or check anything by taking anything apart. Other then that the car has no other issues. Im able to live with this issue, it just feels like a 60hp turd when the cel light comes on, then randomly it goes off and suddenly boom back to normal ~260 hp. it only happens when the CEL is on so i assume its most likely and issue. I need some opinions or if anyones ever come across this before? thanks for reading this huge post.

      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
