Cars been sold boys, someone eles problem now. Didn't want to sell her, had to, lost my licence. FML

the stock exhaust has had the mid muffler deleted, I just chopped it out and straight piped it. u can buy these pipes online, I thought id save some money and just do it myself. sounds allright, not great. could be louder seems like its running a lot richer (can smell the unburnt fuel), thinking it could use a tune anyway, but im wanting to get a new fuel pump, bigger injectors, bigger fmi, battery relocation, hot side intake, stiffer valve springs then get it tuned. also its possible its had a tune already as it hits 10 psi boost then hit ecu cut, was thinking previous owner has taken the good bits off it and put the stock stuff back on and left it with after market tune.

hi keith, mate the remote isn't working at all, its when I use the key in the door, it only unlocks the drivers door, before it used to do all doors. im not sure where the owners manual is either as ive moved house recently. and I cant get the remote to pair with the car at all when putting car in lear mode.

hey guys, ive had my car (03 xr6 turbo) sitting for about 3-4 months, the battery went flat and had to jump start it, since ive got the battery charged it hasn't been unlocking all the doors when ulocking it with the key. it will lock all doors with key. I tried to reprogram my remote to it as it dosnt work anymore, and it wont pick it up after putting it in to learn mode (press demister 3 times) anything I should be checking for this ?

hey guys I done a mid muffler delete on my 03 xr6 turbo and ive found that its gradually become hard to cold start, is there anything I can do other then a tune to get it to start easily again?

So your post has got me thinking. Could I possibly get a after market boost controller like the gfb 3.0 and just set the over boost value too 10psi then it would in theory stop the turbo spooling past 10 psi effectively stoping my boost cut issuse? On a side note I would rather have the car running at about 12 psi, is there any possible way of disabling the ecu boost cut or tricking the ecu into thinking it's running lower psi? How does the ecu measure boost? Could I possibly disconnect a sensor so the ecu can't read boost or will the cause a running issue?

I <3 Bananas yeah man I'm going to look at getting one for mine [emoji1690]

How did u get that app to work off your OBD2 port?

Okay well I'll give it a go on bypassing the boost solinoid and try just it on waste gate pressure Should I unplug the boost solinoid or leave it plugged in? I'll just run a hose from the turbo directly to the boost actuator

So yeah took the car for a drive the other day and I've confirmed it sits at 10psi WOT through first and second but as soon as I shift into third and plant it, it wants to sit on 12psi then it cuts. could I possibly by pass the boost solenoid and stop the ecu boost cut?

So I guessing that in 1st and 2nd it's probably not building any more boost then 10psi, allowing it to rev out and not cut, I'll have to check it today.

Yeah I've got a boost gauge, not really sure what it's hitting in 1st and 2nd, keeping my eyes on the road. I'll have to get the misses to watch it.

Also I should have mention that I can hit rev limiter in first and second if I launch it and it won't hit boost cut. It only hits it boost cut once it gets to like 3500 - 4000 rpm in 3rd.

Okay well where do I find the sensor? Thought it was just a solenoid controlled by the ECU didn't know there was a sensor. More exhaust flow is better for turbos I thought? I guess Ill look into getting bigger injectors / fuel pump ect before a tune. How do I find out how big the injectors are in my car atm? also not sure on how to remove them?

So your saying that it's been previously tuned? and now it needs a retune to getting it to stop hitting 10 psi or smooth out the boost spike when it's under load or something

It was a stock car when I bought it no mods done, but it was hitting boost cut just the same but was abit worse. The exhaust was damaged when I bought the car. Turned out it was restricting exhaust air flow, I had the damaged section cut out and the cat gutted as it was ruptured and parts of the cat were lodged Futher down the exhaust, got that cleaned up and also had the middle muffler deleted. Car seemed to run alot better after freeing up exhaust flow. But still would hit boost cut if pushed too around 4000 rpm. So I got a boost gauge installed and now I've found if I back it off when I spikes the 10psi it won't cut power. Surely these cars in stock form shouldnt hit boost cut at 4000rpm?? Would a tune fix this?

I've put a few mods on it allready but it seems that it still spikes too about 10 - 12 psi at around 3500 - 4000 rpm and if I don't back off it hits boost cut and loses all power, goes into limp mode. Can I get a flash tuner and take the boost cut off? I want to be able to hold it at WOT and run all gears to red line with out it over boosting and going into limp mode.

Hey guys. Just wondering how would I go about stoping the ecu boost cut when I go over 10 psi boost on my stock ba xr6 turbo

I've allready installed it, it's been on there for about 2 months no real noticeable difference.. Boost comes on slightly quicker, but I'm in the process of fixing the exhaust and then needing a tune.

Thanks brother, I found a vid on YouTube on how to remove the steering wheel. So it's not too much more effort to get the blinker / wiper switch out? YouTube vid:

I'm in need of a new blinker switch as mine is no good, tryed glueing it but it's broken again. Does anyone know how to take the old one out at all?

G'day fellas, I'm in the process of changing my stock boost actuator to a new 12psi turbo smart actuator. I decided that I would take the exhaust manifold off with the turbo still attached. so I went ahead and disconnected all water and oil lines from the turbo. Removed dump pipe, intercooler piping and exhaust manifold. And this is where I've hit abit of a road block taking the turbo off, there seems to be a bracket on the side of the block that is holding the turbo and exhaust together (shown in pictures) How would I go about getting these bolts out? And are there anymore hidden bolts I might need to get out [emoji848][emoji23]

Okay well it might be overboosting [emoji848]? It does hit ecu cut in higher rpm or under more load (4th and 5th gear). But I went ahead and installed the guage on the top of the centre console, I still need to get a guage holder. Wired it to the cigarette lighter, works good is really bright at night though, I might end up getting that part from jcar

Thanks for the fast reply mate [emoji108] I went ahead and ran a t peice on the bov and lower vac connection below bov, then ran the vac line under dash and behind the BCM. Gauge works good, im getting about 10 - 11 psi at about 4000rpm. Stock tune. Next step would be where would I go about hooking up the wires for the light? Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk

Hey guys I've finally gotten around to trying too install this boost gauge I got off eBay. When I went to put a t peice into the bov there was no vac line connected to it. So I'm wondering where should the vac line from the bov go too? Then should I go ahead and install a t peice? And also what's the best way to run the vac line through the fire wall?
