Mate the cooler is fine don't waste ya money there is something wrong with ya car you shouldn't need 19 to 20 psi to make that power that's insane your tuner don't sound to good

Hi mate yea I know that's crazy amount of boost going through, all I really wanted to do is make sure that I have the right gear on the car so that when I do go to the new tuner there will not be any problems again.

You need a new tuner stat! You've said it in a post of your own you think its the tune so why not go change already! The car has more than enough gear to make that power. If only you would tell us the tuner you're at now so we can tell you where else to go! There are plenty of reputable tuners in nsw more than capable of working out what's wrong with the car.

NO MORE MONEY ON MODS!!

New tuner, new tune! You'll thank everyone later

Hi guys a bit of an update, iv spent an hour or so looking to see if I can find any issues myself so I could fix before I take my car to the new tuner so I can minimize the costs of them looking through my car an fixing the problem.

Anyways this is what I have found, cam angle sensor plug(exhaust side) has been damaged abit from heat, you can see its melted in a few areas of the plug, an also the two wires that come of that plug for the cam sensor has had its insulation melted an wire has been afected from the heat aswell, its pretty fragile.

Also the two plugs for the vct solinoids have had its locking tabs broken from heat I thing,they still sit in the solinoids probley so im not sure its a huge problem.

And aswell I had the car scanned for codes one came up showing that variable cam timing is over retarted, after that scan I took the car for a minute drive an re scanned it but it showed nothing this time,so that was a bit strange.

Well this is what im gonna do,im gonna cut the affected wire of the cam sensor replace it with a brand new wire with a much more better insulation,also change the cam angle sensor.

This problem may have caused some of my misfires an surges that I have had issues with,well anyways its gonna be one less problem for my next tuner to sort out.

How do you it'll be one less problem? Who's to say it won't be one MORE problem for them? Trying to fix a problem sometimes leads to causing more trouble than help. Just leave the damn car as it is. You've probably spent a sh*te load of money unnecessarily that might not have been needed. That money may have covered visiting the tuner and getting it fixed and have change!

You're pretty much throwing money into a problem you don't know what is 100% and just hoping to fix it by fluke.
