Sard New Member 23 Member For: 16y 1m 28d Posted 23/04/12 11:33 AM Share Posted 23/04/12 11:33 AM Hi all,I have been on here previously with an issue and have not had it resolved. (See previous post below) I have finally got a diagnosis - valve springs are stuffed.Need help in Brisbane. What is the cheapest, reliable option? Car is stock.Who has got springs supplied and fitted in Brisbane lately?Thanks.My car drives normally up to about 3000 rpm. When it gets to there it misses badly and will not accelerate. When I back off there is a loud turbo flutter sound. Rough idle also.I have done the following already:Replaced sparkplugs with IridiumsReplaced CoilsReplaced O2 SensorDid Boost Solenoid lube job (As shown on site)and last replaced Wastegate Actuator.

Sard New Member 23 Member For: 16y 1m 28d Posted 28/04/12 03:38 AM Author Share Posted 28/04/12 03:38 AM Thanks Ratter.You are right I should have gone to a tuner first. I tried to do things cheap re diy/general mechanic.Although I took it to the tuner and they did just about every test under the sun before diagnosing the issue.I just want to see if anyone has had them fitted in Brisbane lately so I can get an idea of price etc. Also the location of the tuner I went to is not convenient.I think the price they gave me is not cheap - $1350 - after I already paid $550 to diagnose it.I can get some replacement springs from Performance Springs QLD for $272 (Some people on this forum have used them before) and just need someone to fit them.Sunnybank/Springwood/Beenleigh way in Brisbane - anyone??
