PassionFord Post Whore!!
surge, surge, surge!!!
it doesn't rain it pours
basically when over a BAR of boost the boost oscillates, i don't think it's boost controller related though, more boost level.
i have yet to swing on the cams to find if there is a mechanical way of combating this, or maybe pull some timing out to see if that helps. absolutely doing my head in, all that's been changed is the turbo and inlet timing is a couple of degrees different to make it idle better as it was a right mare.
anyone local to help out a poor user who can't afford a pro to sort it

you know what, i'll pop the springs out tomorrow first thing, raising the duty on the controller is just making it spike a little more, but not holding much more in return.
tried messing with cam timing and seemed to have helped a little, but did lean the mix out a tiny bit.

turned out to be the boost controller settings, however i decided after long ownership to break the car.
to continue would turn it into a track car, something i don't have the time or money for.
i no longer have time on my and with working shifts and looking after my little one day of the week to save on nursery fees. i've had this car eight and a half years and it's been great fun and most of that has been building it. driving is such a joy, but it has consumed years of my life and it's time to move on now.
so parts are already sold off and car is coming apart next week, i hope the owner of the engine setup will get the thrill of the power like i did for a time.
so what is next, well, bmw 330d is in the pipelines, something far newer and pretty quick in usable daily form at last.
