XR-MAKO

Thanks for all your help, I will take it to a tuner next week. In the mean time, I will drive it like a pensioner!!

Is there a way to check if its been tuned before? Can I tune it back to stock without buying a capa tuning device??

I dont think its the gauge, as its pulling very hard and you can hear the turbo spooling loud. Didnt do that before

I will have to test the actuator swing freely myself, as I can only go by what the mechanic said. She is flying when I hit boost. I driving it without hiting boost as I dont want to break anything. There is no rough feel before or after boost

Yes, everything is standard

Hi, I have a stock (not tuned) BA xr6 turbo. Recently I noticed that my boost gauge was hitting around 15PSI. I took the car to the local mechanic / dyno place, he check the car and said “looks like your boost solenoid is faulty”. He said that he got the air compressor and put little amount of air to the actuator & it move fine. He bypassed the solenoid and connect the pipe from the turbo direct to the actuator. Then I was getting 6-7PSI. I bought a new Boost Solenoid and replaced the old one and reconnect the pipe back to normal. I get 14 – 15PSI. So then I did the bypass and connect the vac pipe from the turbo direct to the actuator, I get 10-12PSI…. Ive check for air leaks but couldnt see any. Can someone suggest what’s going on with my car and how can I fix it. Thanks

Thanks, car has no mods. I will have to check the fuel pump and injectors. Don't think it's the starter as it starts then stalls in 1 to 2 secs. Sometimes it's ok, no problems and other times I have to start it 5 times!

Hi, I having a problem starting ba 2004 turbo when warm. When cold I have no problem. Car starts, drives, all ok. Then when I turn it off and try to start it again, it starts then low revs, then it turns off. I need to press the accelerator to hold the revs, then put it in drive. I have replaced the TPS and cleaned the TB, I have new plugs and coils and a new battery! Any help would be great!! Thanks Mark

You can try what I did. Got the clock from www.VEISystems.com

Opps- Sorry I have a BA 2004 M2

I have a door actuator problem that I have to pull off the door trim. My question is are there any tricks or tips when removing the drivers door trim, ie - electric windows & side mirrors controlls Thanks Mark

Thanks for the info!!

I have a few questions, I have pulled out my turbo and found no gasket between the turbo and exhaust manifold. is there ment to be one there? And can I reuse the metel gasket from the dump pipe again? Thanks Mark

I installed a Typhoon cooler on my T on the weekend. You have to drill 2 new holes for the bracket and you will need 2 more bolts and nuts. Typhoon cooler slightly bigger (only where the 2 bolts are on the right hand side) I also used the Typhoon brackets. And have to move horns!! I did get a little more power than the standed cooler, But I used the F6 cooler because I got it for free and wanted to keep the standed look.

Thanks, I will give it a go in the next week or so..
