jasons xr6 t

na my tuner didn't tell me that about the acuator ,just put it on and got charged $400.00 just for the acuator.. to be honest when I found out that the turbo needed rebuilding I asked what else could be done to the turbo while it was of and was told the acuator and ported turbo or something ,I never said do it ,just asked a question. then my quote at the end on pick up was over 3800 nothing like the original quote of 1800 - 2000 dollars..?? so no I wont be going back there ill be going somewhere else.. I went there from good feedback only to be totally dissapointed. is a boost guage hard to hook up

So can I bypass the boost control solonoid ? If I can and I put a manual boost controller in can I set it a 12 psi and it will work fine and not go over 12 psi ? Im running low on cash atm for a tune I just forked out over 5000 dollars and have got nothing for it except these problems

Yeah im not going back to bta motorsports again..anyone know of anygood tuners

Ok ill check it tomorrow ,na I dont have a boost gauge yet but it seems I should invest in one asap ..will this hurt my motor because the acuator is bigger than my psi ??

Can I put a manual boost controller on ..will that stop any chance of over boosting if its done manually..r they good ??

Ok. How would I do this ?? Easy or should I let a mechanic try it

thanks ralph wiggum for the link ..exellent read..

Na Ali said its a 8 psi tune and a 11.8 acuator..its always surged but like I said they said it was valve springs ,done them but still the same..I had a genetic tune from intune before they done the turbo and acuator and it was running ok..its never been good since I left there ..I have 3 different tunes all supposed to be 8 psi..im fairly cranky at it all.I load the standard tune in and its fine untill 5000 rpm when it starts to cut out and splutter from the bigger acuator --boost cut or something--but up untill 5000 rpm it drives great ..

Before the tune matey..its 8 psi tune and the acuator thing is 11.8..,only 8 psi because my valve springs were shot..any body know of a good tuner around wollongong

Can someone please explain to me what the acuator is and its role in the motor..I put a bigger one on after a turbo rebuild and it surges under acceleration if u flatten it .could this be the acuator ?? I got a tune from bta and the turbo done there and its never been the same since..done valve springs which they said were causing it and coils and to no avail..any one have any ideas

probably a silly question but what is detanation ??

ah possible because I always drive around between empty and a quarter..dont ask me why I just do..

hey my car still surges under hard acceleration ,only in second not first gear. done the valve springs fully rebuilt turbo ,high flowed or something with a bigger acuator 10.8 or 11.8 new coils new plugs just serviced ,oil and filter it has a tune only light at 248rwkw and 890 nm torque because my standard valve springs were going silly any higher to be honest it only started doing it after the dyno tune ?? could the acuator thing be to big for a small boost tune its only on 8psi I had the standard tune in it last night after picking it up from the mechanics with the new valve springs and when I gased it I thought id been bombed ,a huge bang than running real bad, took it straight back and he said the acuator was to big for a standard tune ..so I put a bta tune in and it was that but now again I have the stupid surge back..wt# I got no iea

Just got the car back after the new springs were done and all the surging has gone ,well so far anyway. Thanks for the replies

Mines the same if I gas it

Ok cheers ,thanks for that

Gday. Quick question if my valve springs are weakwill that cause the car to surge under harder acceleration Thanks
