Posted 02/09/07 06:53 AM Share Posted 02/09/07 06:53 AM Brown is nothing to worry about, it's fuel.As you jump right on it from down low your car will richen the mixture to prepare for large amounts of boost coming on board...Mine does it, and every tuned turbo car I've seen does it...It's nothing to worry about.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or the plugs are fouled and the cars just not burning the fuel. Edited 02/09/07 07:51 AM by 7MA61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverman Member 121 Member For: 19y 1m 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/09/07 08:28 AM Author Share Posted 02/09/07 08:28 AM She is not pinging and runs like a scalded cat.Maybe she is just clearing her throat as I have have not put the boot in for a while.Will check it out with my local tuner this week just for piece of mind.Got 297rwkw and was thinking of putting a wastegate actuator and fuel pump on.Will it give me more power considering the mods I have already and if so how much (love to join the 300 club).Mods are edit,injectors,valve springs,pwr I/cooler,smb dump pipe and sports cat.

Give her a sqirt every 50 to 100 km to keep everthing clean. Excuse to officer, "I have to give her a boot every now and then to keep her clean" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch cars on dynos, as they are running up, you will notice some have a black "pop" of smoke out the exhaust when they ping, even if the ping isnt audiable with the ears (get a knock box onto it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
