I haven't noticed it nearly as much lately, I guess because I'm not trying to reproduce it as much. I dropped in some 0.8mm spark plugs and cleaned the absolute sh*t out of the boost solenoid. Helped a bit but not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the only answer on here that fixed the problem. Keep us updated when yours is fixed as mine is the same and it's driving me nuts!

Has to be mate either that or some sort of emission/tune issue. Every time I check my faults I have the overboost one though. I have a boost gauge but never seen it spike yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very pleased to say my original problem is gone. He lightened my boost up a bit under light throttle but I'll let him explain why and what he adjusted. The car drive's a fair bit smoother now, I can squeeze the go pedal a bit more without it spinning so it feels quicker. I'm 100% pleased now Thanks Mick Edited 29/08/11 08:02 AM by FG50T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick d Donating Members 1,594 Member For: 14y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melb Posted 19/09/11 05:37 PM Share Posted 19/09/11 05:37 PM Is this a common problem? I have noticed at 4-5000rpm the car feels different below half a tank .... but noticed I have a noisy fuel pump all of a sudden. Like a bipping noise that you get from a sore ear, shall this be my problem fuel pump with a loss of power at these rpms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
