But hopefully the tuner sorts it all out (for free) and I can just enjoy the thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow id be goin to a different shop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to the Tune shop tomoz for them to deal with it!! What the exhaust guy said made sense to me (because I know ---> '0' <--- about waste gates).Feel free to explain how a wastegate problem could cause this Shudder/stutter though.Chiso92 - I'll keep u posted with what my cars problem is and let you know...Surely can't be your valve springs hey!! Could be same illness as mine (whatever that turns out to be haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After fixing the limiter issue it ran right through ad made 390rwkw some food for thought..... But if indeed that is what they told u about wrong pollutants I suspect they know sweet FA themselves lol a wastegate opens at the desired boost level bypassing the turbine wheel therefore limiting the energy delivered to the turbine wheel which causes boost to stay at the desired level.... It doesnt pick and choose which gases it bypasses it just opens and lets everything through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traction control feeling is EXACTLY what it feels like. I thought this also..Except mine shudders for about 5-10 seconds after that initial power loss! See what they say later today I guess Edited 23/04/12 04:03 AM by bionic_oosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
