By the way go to a differant tuner/shop.

 

yeah definitely go to a different shop. If they cant tell then I wouldn't let them touch my car with a 10' pole. This is something that you should be able to figure out in 5 minutes very easily.

Are you running you still running the stock engine management?

 

if they cant fix it im gonna demand another turbo kit free sh-it i put down 4000 bones for it to not put down the respectable numbers only gaining 40 hp for 4000$ is wack.. so if they cant fix it im going someewhere else

 

Could be a boost leak...sounds weird, but hear me out:

Things are going well and your turbo is making 21-22psi. After pressure drop, you're making 20psi on the gauge. Now, you turn up the boost to and indicated 250, but suppose you've got a leak that's opening up at 22psi. In order to reach 25psi on the gauge, maybe you needed to crank the boost up to 30psi at the turbo. By making all that extra boost at the turbo, you're overheating the air, and this could be compounded by the enging pulling timing.

I had this same thing happen on my car running a FP White. I jumped the car and had a bit of a rough landing, and tweaked one of my IC pipes. Since the rally car doesn't have sound deading, its hard to hear much with rocks being pelted off the underside of the car. The car went from making 27psi down to ~25psi. I also noticed that intake temps were higher than normal, so I packed it in for the day. When I got it home, I did a pressure test and ran it up to 15psi, and couldn't find a leak, even using the soapy water trick. I cranked up my pressure tester to 25 psi and I found the leak right away.

Its a longshot, but with the lack of details, I figured it might be worth checking.

Good luck getting it all sorted out!

i found a rupture in one of the couplers for my lower pipe but they said its not a leak they say its a restriction in the airflow and they insist its the intercooler any other?

 

It sounds like they need to do more troubleshooting. They need to look elsewhere for the problem like their turbo kit.

 

the turbo makes boost just fine its when we turn up boost the numbers go down can u re write ure reply i kind of dont get it

 

Sorry I was being sarcastic. I wouldnt think it would be the intercooler. You can try cleaning it out and look to see if there really is an obstruction then. It comes across like they are trying to charge you for an intercooler that you do not need without looking into weather or not that the AMS intercooler you have installed is really the problem. I know is easier to swap parts on there without trouble shooting the problem sometimes but its hard on the pocketbook that way. Even new parts like turbos sometimes are bad from the manufacture. If you didnt have a problem before the turbo install and you have one now.

 

Who's tuning MIKE or SCOTT GRAY??

 

It's quite possibly a boost leak also. But that should show up as a high load on the datalog, super rich A/F, and low timing due to being in a higher load cell.

 

No way it's the ams intercooler unless who ever installed the intercooler damaged the fins or bent something, ams is one of the best quality product's you can buy. My suggestion is try returning the turbo kit back to rre because no offense there crap next time go with a buschur kit,and as far as stealth look goes if you can see a external wastegate it's not stealth and it looks' like a shoemaker fabricated it.One other thing to do is find your self and much better tuner because it sound's like they don't know there *** for their elbows' if you know what there doing you wouldn't be asking us for help good luck sucks that you dropped 4g's and didn't make any power.

 

Scott Gray Did The Tuning Well This THursday Were Gonna Do Some More Trouble SHooting Just Here To Get Some Ideas On What To Trouble Shoot

What was the problem?
