geekatrons Member 60 Member For: 12y 6m 10d Posted 02/07/12 11:04 AM Share Posted 02/07/12 11:04 AM Hey all.I know there is a thread on this but didn't really cover the main causes to what I read. my BA XR6T Auto is chewing through fuel,. Have reset the computer and still sits at 18-20l/100kmh. The car does have a boost problem- as in it is overboosting. Any ideas what it could be. I do hear a lot of air noise before the car overboosts and goes into limp mode- maybe a hose somewhere? any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 1m 28d Posted 02/07/12 11:31 AM Share Posted 02/07/12 11:31 AM How many k's on it? Have u changed your o2 sensor? That'll help fuel consumption, as for your over boost I'd get it on a dyno ASAP and find out what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the car tuned with it or just slap it on?If you bought it second hand and just put it on then unplug it and see if it helps.Take it to a tuner to have a proper look at it on a dyno.

geekatrons Member 60 Member For: 12y 6m 10d Posted 03/07/12 11:05 AM Author Share Posted 03/07/12 11:05 AM Thanks guys. I brought the car second hand. The car is a 2003 BA with just under 100k o the clock. Really tidy car but really frustrating me at the moment. Yeah I have heard that the chip torque piggy back is a less than average piggy back. I would rather go to standard and then edit to be honest.I live in Campbelltown. Really want to get this fixed and working so I can enjoy my weekend car the way it was intended.
