zayd687 Member 74 Member For: 15y 1m 17d Posted 09/01/11 11:54 PM Share Posted 09/01/11 11:54 PM (edited) hi guysmy na converted ba is now running 7.25 psi... I upped the boost from 5 psi -0.4 to 0.5.since doing this my car now sometimes fluctuates in idle sometimes on reverse or sometimes when u slowdown at the lites quickly, and sometimes u need to press accelerator to start it.( I dont mind but would this be harmful ) THE car also has stage 2 cams tuned.in the rain its really sluggish unless its hit boost then it feels like its moving fast as it shud... but otherwise it moves slowly but brakes really quickly as if the a caliper is stuck or sumfin.this happens only in the rain? it just runs sh*t? I dont have a cold air intake on the turbo or a pod.... this sluggish feeling was there also when I had the heatshield on which I removed n it livened up the carcould the car be taking in too much heat making it sluggish????? any ideas?what are your guys suggestions? any advice much appreciated Edited 09/01/11 11:57 PM by zayd687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zayd687 Member 74 Member For: 15y 1m 17d Posted 10/01/11 01:43 AM Author Share Posted 10/01/11 01:43 AM (edited) too be honest, there is no pod. I've left the factor airbox with the standard cross over. there is no pod or air intake on the turbo.should I get a pod so its not sucking in water? I had previously fit in cams that a mate didnt want no more. I installed it and then took it to a tunner to have it running , I had all the turbo conversion parts so I installed that too but its un tuned atm.it was runnin fine on 0.4 barhave upgraded fuel reg and sparkies....im new to the turbo scene , can the intercooler suck in water?there seems to be some water in my front bumper just below the cooler? could that do it?otherwise maybe somehow turbo is sucking in water or hot air too much?????I have no clue, I can put the boost down to 0.4 and see if it runs normal?

Put the boost to what it was when it was tuned and then get it tune for the new boost and turn it up when tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayd687 Member 74 Member For: 15y 1m 17d Posted 10/01/11 02:49 AM Author Share Posted 10/01/11 02:49 AM the car was only tuned for cams.the boost was on 4-5 psi and it worked perfectly. Once I upped it... it hammers pretty hard but ends up with these minor problems. the sluggish driving occurs ONLY in the wet regardless im on 5 psi or 7.. so still unsure as to what has caused this.
