last night gave it alttle bit of stick flying past a mate didnt see what speed i was doing but was hitting quite high revs in 3rd gear everything seemed fine then when next put my foot down it wouldnt come on boost wouldnt rev above 3k just seemed like total shut down and front of car seemed to shake too.

any idears whats happened here im thinking worst case senario and prob a fooked turbo coz it just doesnt wanna come on boost now

its stage 1 chipped and running 15psi max

any hep would be appreciated.

Will it rev over 3k stationary Gaz?

to be honest no i aint tried that yet but will do

if it doent rev over 3k is that signs of a shagged blower?

SPADGE

No mate it should rev over 3k even if the blower is doing fook all! Is it misfiring hence the shaking?

What ecu you using

if it's level 8 it might have gone into limp mode

SPADGE

Thought i would add that my answer above is assuming you can't rev it over 3k at a stand still!
Are you sure it hasn't just blown a boost pipe off? have you checked them?? Inc map sensor one.

standard 4x4 ecu so yeah that be L8

checked the samco boost hoses there all on securely couldnt see anything that had become detached that was obvious tbh it feels like a sort of air leak type problem but couldnt find anything.

it wasnt mis firing it wasnt that kind of violent shaking it felt more like when you drive over cats eyes on motorways at speed that kind of feeling

me bro had this on his 4x4 sapp around 3-4k just as it was about to come on boost
it seemed to hold back and wouldn't have it. you can try simple things like contacts in dizzy cap but if its ok on stationery somethin silly i know but even plug gap settings could do it or a crack in an ht lead. me brothers was gap settings he we hadn't even touched the plugs before. hope this will be of some use mate

Sounds like its breaking down under load then Gaz
Could still be a boost pipe or map sensor
If not then an ignition fault possibly plugs/leads but more likely to be the crank or phase sensor imo
Give Stu a shout and see what he thinks.

got another set of boost hoses to put on too so will be trying them on-you never know!

will be getting it in the garage in the weekend to do afew things so will have a try with the points mentioned-hope its something silly thats causing the problem cant aford any big expense at the mo

cheers for your input

SPADGE

I would be more worried about the shaking mate Do you suffer from the DT's or have you checked your intercooler is still there and that you didn't run over it
