    why is my turbo so laggy?

    That's better than it was doing...check your timing and compression like you said earlier. The WG is likely the issue in combo with the stock IC pipes restricting flow. Are you running the stock IC as well? I'm also thinking you might be getting an intermittent code 52 that makes it worse...

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    :icon_conf How did it boost? Laggy or the improved version from yesterday?

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    The 24, 31, and 34 can all be explained. The 12, 14 and 52 should not have removing the intake as a cause. You might want to do a real road test and check again. The code 52 and the SAFC not reading the knock sensor signal is making me very suspicious. Might want to make sure the igniter...

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    It's the normal indication (no codes) when the terminals are jumped...you do not have to start the car. In addition, the CEL (TE1 & E1 off) will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned on and then goes out at 500 RPM. New codes will not output or stored below 500 RPM. The above...

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    I understand you said are no codes previously...I asked if you get a CEL fast blink (.26 sec between blinks) with the terminals jumped. RTFQ ;)

    Suggestions on my turbo delima?

    Take a look at the BOSS turbos on SupraSport. I have an SP61GT...if the BOSS turbos had been available at the time, there is no question what I would do for a bolt on option ;)

    30 amp

    Sorry, but that doesn't narrow down squat...you could be powering your MAFT from any number of fuses. Guessing is a game that is very frustrating to play. Since you can't take the time to be exact, we can't take the time to help. Good luck figuring it out. Thread closed.

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    Do you get a fast blink CEL when you jump TE1 and E1? Unless you get a code 52, the ECU will not retard timing automatically. During normal ops (no code), the ECU retards timing in increments based on a 7 Khz signal from the knock sensors. Do you know what coolant temps are (i.e. actual...

    Mixing pump and race gas?

    I'm thinking a tank of 100 octane low lead Aviation gas will be plenty.

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    Actually, when IDL is off (above idle) engine speed (Ne) and intake air volume (Vs) are both big inputs to TCCS timing control. The ECU determines basic retard/advance angle based on a table in memory...it selects the value closest to the air volume per 1 engine revolution. Other inputs...

    Blue Smoke

    Depends on how the rest of the PCV is routed. In your case (based on compression), it looks like rings to me.

    Blue Smoke

    Bzzzz...wrong! The oil return holes are in the head on the same plane as the head bolts. That large hose behind the alternator is part of the PCV...it's how crankcase vapor get to the top of the head and exit out the cam cover nipples.

    hg question, not sure if this is the right section

    Yep covered quite a bit. ;) You'll be good to fuel cut on a Lex AFM (16-18 psi).

    Mixing pump and race gas?

    For octane at high boost...more is better. Just as bad or worse for a stock O2 Brad.

    My Spare Turbo Leaks On The Shelf

    Pretty close Gaboon ;) The seals are indeed a piston ring type seal. They are compressed when installed to leave minimal gap between the ends of the rings and around the rings. This is a torturous oil path to prevent leakage into the air/exhaust passages. Most turbos use only a single piston...

    Can This Radiator Leak Be Patched?

    That's the lower rad support...there's a post on the bottom of the rad that fits inside the rubber. No, it can not be tightened. JB weld is not going to cure well enough with coolant present to seal the hole. Won't take the pressure anyway. Time for a new radiator ;)

    I Seek Fuel Pressure Clearification

    I see 1350-1450 deg F EGTs, but my sensor is in the turbine housing. A 100-150 deg drop for post turbo would not be unusual.

    I Seek Fuel Pressure Clearification

    Kenny - Look at FP as a global correction...it applies to the fuel being supplied across the board (for given size pump and injectors). Every car is different, so you will see a guy with this FP, another with that FP...even though both have near identical set-ups. Look at numbers like this as...

    I Seek Fuel Pressure Clearification

    I know Scott...but, that is not what he said ;) An AFPR references vac...that what FPs we need to be talking about too...who cares what vac off FP is in this context. If you want someone to help you, you need to proof what you write to make sure it makes sense or some grumpy old guy is going...

    why is my turbo so laggy?

    I didn't say anything you have isn't "proven"...it's the combination. A concept a lot of guys seem to have trouble with :rolleyes: The IC and IC piping have a huge effect as well.
