You know the car, has a few mods and running 18psi - only pulled 160kw, car seems fine to drive though...

based on other similar mods and car it should do about 200kw

POLL on!

oh - and its being diagnosed Friday so I should have some answers by then

My guess would be posting Tech in the Wellington section.

Maybe you put oil in your radiator as well, or diesel in your petrol tank, or maybe a vodka enema (all things being put where they probably shouldn't be)

But realistically, anything that anyone would guess would be just that, i guess, so i guess that your car has herpes, i hope it didn't give it to mine when they pashed in the garage.

Im just after guesses - before i find out. This is not meant to be a trouble shooting technical thread. just money down for what people think.

hmm me thinks maybe yours have mine herpies after pashing - as it ran worse after

am I allowed to have 2 guesses?

I saw a decent puss of purple smoke twice after you'd been on the track and restarted the car after it had cooled down a bit.

1. Turbo about to die, maybe seals starting to leak

2. Too much oil in your intercooler and intake.

Might be an easy option just to degrease the intercooler, it cant hurt!

either poked turbo, bad compressions or a bad tune. what duty cycle was the injectors on? 550cc should easily get u 220kw if tune right?

my car feels like 160kw at 15psi. since ive put my extractors on it dont feel as fast as with the standard manifold.

wait to see what rick say after the compression test. i didnt have a good look at your motor to see if its been rebuild or not

With extractors you need to have them wrapped. Even then they will not work as well as std headers till they have warmed up. The stock headers being cast iron retain heat much better than SS.

      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
