Default big boost to early

hi troopers,

ive bought a series 2 in 6 different shades of red and whilst trying to do half a dozen maintainance jobs on it i thaught id see if any1 had any ideas on what my turbo is doing for when i get round to the engine.

it starts boosting at 1900 revs and obviously cannot get any power down, is also creating a flat spot mid range,its defo a t3 so please dont ask that lol, somebody has suggested ignition/timing and ecu set up. as its my 1st esc turbo im not up on these things.

hope to see some of u at the manchester rs owners meets, keep your eyes out for the patchwork quilt

cheers

Check all the little things such as timing as suggested, or even better get it set up professionally!

Big Boost!! How big?

Its possible your wastegate has seized closed, fairly common on these cars.
Take the Actuator arm off from under the turbo and make sure the wastegate is moving freely.

The wastegate being seized will make the turbo boost very high and then hit Over Boost, which will make the car cut out for a second and nose dive before coming back on.

Matt.
