Over boost gtb, cel, boost controller?


Codex

Recommended Posts

Hey all, long time lurker but thought I'd finally register and pick your brains

98 GTB bg manual

I was on my way to hanmer and went to over take, as I hit second turbo it felt like I boosted faster and higher than normal, afterwards cel came on and went into limp mode. I pulled over and checked all hosing to see if any had split or come off. All fine.

After starting up again it was gone. The car was VERY loaded up (coilovers were at their limits :/) and I was wondering if the weight and extra power required may have caused this and if the stock boost controller going bad? Could it be Black Box related?

Any help would be highly appreciated

I don't have any way to pull code at the moment, not home (aka can't remember how to pull without reader)

No mods, trying to keep engine stock tbh (have considered single conversion but not at this stage) so yeah stock.

Car is driving perfectly now, gave it a good drive and used both turbo stages multiple times now without issue.

Thank you for the quick response :)

yup saw ya "edit" :P

66 is BBoD territory? (solenoid stuff driver side strut tower) iirc eep

Didn't edit first post :P I tried to be descriptive instead of going AHHHH BROKEN T_____T

If it is bbod would I start with cleaning out the lines with compressed air just in case there is debris?

      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
