Gasman Ford Nub Member 412 Member For: 14y 1m 8d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 18/05/11 08:59 AM Share Posted 18/05/11 08:59 AM its wierd it only boosts to 15 psi and falls back to 10psi. I have heard of uncontrollable boost with intercooler and exhaust mods but this does seem to be controlled. Any one had any experience with chiptorque in Nerang?

You really want to get it on a dyno and find out if the AFRs are okay, that alone shouldnt cost bugger all. If they arent alright then your up for more money with tuning.As for the tap to control flutter that to me would be an adjustable BOV so maybe that isnt standard.

I will get the check up done localy and If I need anything done I will shoot up to Brisy and have someone you guys recommend to fix it up. Nub question: what does AFR stand for?

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 18/05/11 11:44 AM Share Posted 18/05/11 11:44 AM (edited) No spiking and falling off on my tune. Stock turbo, wastegate, actuator etc. Only mods= F6 intake, filter, cooler, zorst, injectors and intank pump.YMMV of course, think the spike and fall off is caused by other mods?it's been a while since I've done the boost solenoid maintenance actually, better get onto it!
