  1. Blown intercooler hose off ? Or the bov hose off . Look for anything obvious . Do a compression test . Pressure test the intake system . Pull plug leads off one at a time and see if the miss is one cylinder or all of them
  2. do those colours equate to equally colorful exhaust noises ?
  3. I saw u wrote post turbo and assumed u wrote the wrong word . U wont be able to read the pressure post turbo on a boost gauge . Need a manometer or somethin . Have u really never seen exhaust pressure lower than booat in our realm ?im not arguing I just figured it was achievable . I might check mine . Vf22 . 197kw on 11 psi boost .
  4. the budgo way to datalog is put the boost gauges near each other and record a video with your phone haha
  5. get a bit of cunning and use a differential pressure sensor from a tt
  6. if u go to hcd you can get all the olives and every adaptor u can think of for single $
  7. yea whay evowrx said . you can get those kits with copper tube at super cheap . the are for oil and boost gauges
  8. let this be a lesson in " if it aint broke , dont fix it" there was nothing wrong with the idle before so why did you decide the throttle should be shut
  9. so you fiddled with the throttle but then you asked this "With disconnecting the battery, do I simply disconnect positive and negative or just positive... " what ever you do dont play with a solar panel . those things are a bomb waiting to go off unless u get the right diode to go with them
  10. how is the engine going to get any air to start if the throttle is fully closed ? they dont have a separate idle controller . u took something away from the ecu . moved it . put it back and expect the ecu to overcome what you did . now it doesnt know where the throttle plate it . the ecu only knows where it used to be and still thinks it is there
  11. how many pills did you refit . the tt system has more than one .....
  12. do u magically think someone on the internet can tell u what hoses are in the wrong place from the (lack of ) info u have provided ? so it boosts on primary . that eliminates about 2 hoses . now go figure out which out of the other 23 are wrong
  13. Is it running on 4 cylinders . If u cant tell then anything else is beyond you
  14. Does the oil pressure light go out ? A bb turbo only wants abour a litre a minute when its running so at crank rpm id say none would come out it . If it comes out when idling then id be happy enough It takes about 20 seconds for an oil light to go out on the starter motor . Then u have a lik 1mm hole feeding into 200mm of 3 mm steel hose so itd prolly take half an hour for oik to come out it on the starter . Unless the engine had just been running
  15. Yea do that . Gutted cats . Better muffler . Free up the intake and change the turbo to intercooler hoses and you will be impressed
  16. The drivers one is height adjustable and wound down u wouldnt think it was any higher than stock
  17. Those arent 2 piece rotors . They jus have some bolts to look like it . Is the case with a lot of bokt on bigger rotor kits
  18. Magnatec . When its on special u can get it for 27 a bottle . Buy 2
  19. Yep bolt in . I have 555 blue ones and they are a **** tone nocer than red n black wrx seats . Maybe all v5 ones are ?dunno .
  20. Version 3 and 4 share everything else so dont see why not the cluster . U can swap in the carbon piece pretty easy . One of the first things I did to mine . Also swap to a tacho that conviently doesnt have an airbag light symbol ...
  21. Fkn nothin coz single turb heads dont have holes for twin turn pipes . Will get the drill out at a later stage
  22. The bit between the air filter and the afm only needs to be the length of one hose clamp is wide long . And chop all the corrugations out of the black hose n join it back together . My filter is 3 times longer than that and fits
  23. u get that much in 2000 k ? is it ****ed ? u need some more baffles ( or steel wool) in the line from the crank case so the oil stays there . failing that just run a drain from the catch can back to the sump . metal kidney plate would prolly help too the oil is supposed to get hot enough to burn off the water and other impurities .
