Hey guys, I have my v7 sti and my mates v7 sti and both of them have an issue..
My v7 sti: Just had a replacement engine and when i'm just cruising up my hill not boosting I get this slight misfire feels like a fuel related issue but i could be wrong, also my Air fuel gauge drops and comes up every time it misfires and it's in sync to the misfire which is why i thought it could be a fuel issue.. On boost it doesn't hesitate at all.
Mates v7 sti: Mates v7 sti hesitates on boost, he's got a gfb electronic boost controller and we've noticed that on a lower boost setting the misfire is worse but on a higher boost setting it's a lot better but still has a misfire.
Any ideas what these issues could be related to? Quite tempted to swap over parts to find out the problem, any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!

So managed to do a compression check on all four cylinders, got compression in 1,3 and 4 but didn't get any compression in 2. If someone could tell me what could have happened that would be greatly appreciated? So new motor or get this one fixed?

Can I still do a compression check without the turbo and intercooler on the engine?

Hi there,
I bought a v7 Sti and when I was driving it home and I blew something, as it lost boost and blew a lot of smoke. First thought was I blew the turbo and when I took the turbo off there was heaps of oil in the turbo and intercooler so I replaced the turbo with a VF30 that I bought off this forum and now its doing the same thing. No improvement at all, I'm hoping the turbo I got off this forum is also a faulty turbo because I don't want to think it's my engine as it was only replaced a few months ago.. Anyone know how I can diagnose the problem? I believe it idles fine and drives fine just really powerless, maximum boost is 9 psi and that's after a long time on the accelerator. Any help or advice is appreciated
