lodi77 Member 7 Member For: 10y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 02/11/13 05:59 AM Share Posted 02/11/13 05:59 AM Hi all, I have a BF that is discharging the turbo at around 4000rpm under full throttle. This problem started intermittently, but now is permanent. Still good all the way under half to three quarter throttle. I've checked all intake, outlet pipes, clamps, bov, by passed the boost e sensor, changed the (new) actuator, re-flashed too. Thinking maybe it's the waste gate or fuel pump lagging as it is standard. Has anyone experienced this or can think of anything else to check?

lodi77 Member 7 Member For: 10y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 03/11/13 01:32 AM Author Share Posted 03/11/13 01:32 AM Yeah, flashed to 12psi, exhaust, hotter coil packs, board out front prop housing with twin blade prop to give faster spool, intercooler. Not much else. The problem was intermittent first, now it's permanent. The first boost of the day sometimes goes all the way, once it's hot its no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lodi77 Member 7 Member For: 10y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 03/11/13 01:50 AM Author Share Posted 03/11/13 01:50 AM The prop has one blade on top off the other, this like a diesel prop. Total of 10 blades I think, I have a photo in my computer somewhere but won't be back till much later. It produces an extra psi on the front housing compare to the back one.
