Give DM a call. Make sure they pay for everything.

Since it only does it when the car is idling, sort of sounds like it isn't getting enough air since when you open the throttle its fine. I don't think it would be a misfire, unless the misfire happened because of not having enough idle air. Reason being if there's no misfires under boost, there...

For the bolded, did I not exactly say "And I would agree there is another problem, but if that plug gap deal did fix his problem temporarily I think he could at least narrow it down to an ignition problem."? For the swapping newer coils, a coil can test out perfect resistance per TSRM specs...

That should be fine on the tac while your cranking, long as its moving I believe that means your cps works.

I'm telling you man, you got the wrong turbo back or it's clocked 180 off, like I said earlier. Flame me but what else could it be?

It is a shame as I too love the SSQV sound lol. Sadly that sound is due to poor air release design.. Maybe not poor but definitely less of a design than how the Synapse or others like it operate. And yes, the Synapse sounds like a stock recirculated BOV :cry: but it does the job of getting rid...

There are different models of CT like you said (IE 26 / 12A) and it is possible to get sent back the wrong turbo. It HAS happened. Rarely, but has. As far as getting someone else's turbo, some companies send you back YOURS rebuilt, others send you a different turbo. The thing people don't...

Good for you. If you ran 12# on the higher gap, your ignition system is more up to spec than his. And I would agree there is another problem, but if that plug gap deal did fix his problem temporarily I think he could at least narrow it down to an ignition problem. OP how old are your coils...

For the coolant, if the coolant has air bubbles it can get hot and act weird. Try burping it, meaning wherever the radiator cap is, jack up that portion of the car (make sure you jack is in an ok spot) so that the rad cap is higher than other parts of the engine. Take off the rad cap (make sure...

Gap your plugs to .26 just for fun. Shouldn't your base fuel pressure be more than 30 for that much boost? And yeah pushing 17lbs on pump is pushing it. Get a AEM, full fuel sys and good tune for E85, youll never knock again. E85 is cheaper than 89 oct where I live.

Do you know what your fuel pressure is while you're cranking? It is possible the rubber line in your gas tank for outgoing fuel from the pump can break. Pump turns on, some gas gets to the rail but not enough for the car to fire up. I have seen people get no starts because of a severely...

He's right, but your gauge can show 30 for various reasons, although it isn't actually 30 in the engine. As far as the BOV goes OP, SSQVs can go bad. Although it wouldn't make sense since you didn't change anything on it while adjusting your boost. The SSQV has been used for very high...

Man I said sorry in numerous posts! I was the only one that said gap your plugs down, he did and apparently it fixed his problem! Really lol, I said I was wrong in two posts and apologized in more than that. Some other dude got heated about the plug gap and said I was posting BS when it...

Might want to look into the Synapse bov. HKS is good but doesn't let air out as fast as the Synapse.

Happy mod? I contributed to the thread and helped a guy solve his problem. I said I was sorry like 4 times for the TSRM deal. Jeez ..

True, I said I was wrong, and I already apologized. - Also true, it does serve a purpose. It stops fuel surges that cause turbulence in the fuel line. They do go bad though.. some people just bypass them and also have no trouble anymore. - Yes my numbers were off. I did not check the tsrm...

If that's the case, excellent, go for the BC ones.

This is what your BOV should look like if you're trying to do it the right way. NOTICE THE FILTER HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE VACUUM AND POSITIVE PRESSURE AT THE SAME TIME LAUGHING MY ASS OFF? THERE IS NO POSITIVE PRESSURE AT IDLE BECAUSE IT IS VACUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM AND SHOULD PULL OPEN THE BOV...

Wrong. Look where his MAF is. BOV BEFORE THE MAF = AIR ENTERING/LEAVING IS UNMETERED = OKAY TO DO REally I did NOT come on here to be a dick. LOL at trying

I stand by my statement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vTU83Z96-Q Watch when he starts the car, BOV OPENS. When he revs it and builds boost, it CLOSES. When throttle plate closes, it OPENS again. If it doesn't open at idle, your spring is too stiff. APOLOGIES IF I SOUND LIKE A DICK
