Its a very fast rattle and doesn't sound very nice at all.This only happens when I am really planting the foot and it also feels like ive lost power. The boost doesn't come on as hard.My car has 267rwk running a 10psi tune.Any ideas as what this could be? Thanks,Steve.

Steve_89 Member 51 Member For: 16y 10m 10d Gender: Male Posted 21/04/08 07:05 AM Author Share Posted 21/04/08 07:05 AM So what was the problem Steve?Well...A little embarrasing haha Since I've had the car I always used BP ultimate 98.I thought I would give Caltex a go...I had no idea they made a Vortex 95 and Vortex 98...I just assumed Vortex was 98.It didn't help that my local Caltex only had 95 Vortex as well. So I was never to know there were two kinds. When I called into a different Caltex on the way home from a drive yesterday to get a drink I noticed that there were two different kinds of Vortex.So I ran the tank empty last night and filled with Ultimate again. And the car is running like it used to. Thanks for the help though guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
