Ba Turbo Issues When Boosting ..help!

[tanner11]

hey guys pre new on here so here is my situation . I replaced the clutch on my 02 ba xr6 turbo on the weekend. since then I have put one full tank of 95 unleaded coz I was too poor to afford 98.. for few days now when I put my foot flat to the floor and it hits boost it goes fine till it hits about 4000RPM it shudders and looses all power , sometimes comes good , but most time it just boggs down and goes no where and have to fully back off.. I pluged scan tool in and keeps coming up with 'torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid control circuit high' any one got any ideas on what could be .. boost guage says its boosting at 14 psi. but scan tools try saying 167 kpa witch I looked on google and that's like 22 psi I think . so I dont know whats going on,, any help would be appreciated

cheers

Man I'm sorry if this is a bit of a rant but holy sh*t!

95ron with 14psi? Are you stupid or just testing your luck? Your lucky you Havnt blown your engine.

If it's tuned for 98 ONLY run 98! You may have saved 10 bux which may cost you thousands.

About your problems, could be coils or a busted cat?

As above ^^^

Be more like $3 and as above, but is it tuned?

[tanner11]

Yes it was tuned with a capa flash box and was dyno,d apparently. I tryedd setting it back to factory but seemed to make no difference. it cost me 100 bucks to fill 52 litres and cost me 85 with the 95 and being on second yr apprentice wages dont help the back pockets its only reason I filled up with that

[Pazzo]

I know it's of topic, but what are you paying for 98, as that works out close to $2 a litre. When I paid this morning for shell vpower $1.47.

[Mr_4.0]

Don't want to sound like a broken record but....

Modified xr6 turbos and 2nd year apprentice wages do not match. Filling with the wring fuel can cost you thousands. If there's one thing you do with this car, don't skimp on the fuel.

Get your car looked at asap. Sounds like you could have a big issue.

Too bastardise my favourite phrase, Fuel's cheap Engines are Expensive

the fuel dontt matter I added actane booster and tank was empty within two days.

98 is like $1.60 my way :S

anyone else had any problems similar not even ford have any idea , plus there uslees anyway and dnt wanna know anything about it,

checked over all hoses today all seemd fine . then drove it and pushed it hard in 1st gear and boosted like 17 psi and blew the bung out of the black turbo manifold looking thing on top or what ever its called . and also blew off a hose on bottom of manifold.

Fuel does matter, octane booster is sh*t and would of cost more than getting 98 in the first place.
