hey there i had my car set up at ava in glasgow all seemd fine but i had a t3/t4 turbo on, so i changed the turbo over to a t34 all seemd fine untill i went to change the amal valve to a boost controller and when i took the middle boost pipe( one from turbo to metering unit) fuel pished out the boost pipe??:S

why is this anyone any ideas? thanks

 

Metering unit is leaking mate.

 

awright chrighton, T34 will prob still be a bit big for what you need, but aye as karlos sais the metering unit must be leaking somewhere, will either need stripped and fixed or replaced if the latter that would unfortunately involve another setup on the rollers


how was it going afterwards anyway? must have been night and day!

 

aryt man it wasnt doing this be4 tho:S thats weird lol and when we got back took the box and that out and there was nothin wrong with the clutch:S lol but it was the flywheel was skimmed wrong and there was only 3 wee bits of the flywheel touchin the clutch lol so changed it and took it out and sorted going like *uck once on boost lol new turbo boost alot quicker tho. wb mate

 

Thats pretty shit regardin the flywheel, glad it's sorted though !!

Yea it was fine before, but thats jus how it goes wi these cars, fine one minute fucked the next lol

Maybe strip the metering unit a bit and see if you can see anything wrong, probably a seal somewhere has burst

 

lol i wont fuck the set up will i? lol and where would i get new seals if one is burst mate? i have a coulpe of metering heads kicking around mate. anychance u know what seal it might be?

 

No idea on seal or where to get one mate, the setup shouldnt be affected unless it was leaking at all when it was setup, it needs to come apart either way to fix it so strip it and have a swatch!

 

lol ok mate thats pish tho if ive gotta get it set up again lol i hope to get it bk on the rollers soon tho

 

hi will my rs smoke if metering unit leaking into boost pipe

 

Alright mate, curiosity, how much was your set-up at AVA? Mines needs done soon.

Cheers, Paul

 

If you got other metering unit's laying round, why don't you swap it? then safely drive to your tuner and then all they got to do is set the fueling up. So should'nt cost you as much as before.

Then if you wish you can strip and refurbish that metering unit while still being able to drive your rs.

 

210 it cost me that was a set up and like 6 runs on rollers

 

back in 2009 cost me near 400quid but that included new actuator and chipping ecu and rolling road tuned. A normal rolling road set up without extra's should cost around 80quid an hour.
