yep...

well its post to be at about 8 or so but when im at high rpm's its boosting all the way up to like 12-14. but like i said it may just be the cheap guage

 

I would not boost hard till i figured out what happening. 12-14 psi is detonation for sure.

 

Alright, well we had a successful friday yesterday. We found out that the noise we were wondering about was just the wastegate. We still have a small oil leak from the filter or in that area. It didn't smoke at all cruising around to different meets last night, then we went to buffalo wild wings for a couple hours and came back out and it started with the white smoke again, but it also rained while we were eating, if that can make a difference. We keep getting a CEL saying it's running really rich. All I can think of is that the injectors are too big. The fuel pump is very loud, you can hear it whining standing next to the car. Our buddy in a civic has the exact same pump with a gutted interior and you can't hear his. And lastly, we're waiting on the boost controller to keep the boost level.

 

Hope it comes together!

 

ya the walbro is loud. its like having a fan in the back seat

 

OK, We thought it might be backed up or trying to push toomuch fuel or something. Good to know that's normal too.

 

Also, sometimes, after revvinng the car up, the rpms will come down and drop below 500 rpms and then die. But it doesn't stutter or shake or anything. Any ideas?

 

The ECU needs to learn the new air and fuel habits now that your turbo is installed. I have the same problem initially every time I unhook my battery and my ECU has to learn the engine all over again. It goes away after a couple hundred miles.

 

sounds like you need a custom tune. Are you 100% sure that the piggy has the stage 2 turbo flash on it?

 

Yeah, it came from RRM and another member here ran it for a while with no problems. There's no rough idle or anything, just if we rev it up, sometimes when the RPMs are coming down, it bounces real low then dies. It doesn't die during idle though, only when rebounding from a high rev.

 

hmm, if it is only then that shouldn't be a problem. unless the guy driving likes to ricer rev all the time lol.

 

not so much.....

 

Did you swap out your crank pully or did you dick with your alternator at all? I had the same problem with my car when i did my underdrive pully and because the belt was slipping so bad it would die at idle after i revved it.

 

nope havnt touched the alternator....

 

Haven't touched the crank pulley either.
