Re: help asap
same build here and having the same probs. stock exhaust still. have a turbonetics knob boost controller but cant even make stock boost with it? not that it matters cause as soon as i start makin ANY boost KR shoots all over the place?wtf. if I use the boost solenoid it seems to work ALOT better, but I thought that Phil Long chips didnt use the solenoid to control boost? :dunno: I can put the stock stuff back in it and rape it all day long w/o a single prob... Im pretty much lost.(was gonna start a similar thread but i e-mailed e-rue for some advice since thats where i got the chip, jus havent heard back yet) Very curious as to where this thread goes

Re: help asap
yea i dont get it either....so you have a boost controller and your still all over the place....i was thinking of getting the waller turbo or rpm stage 1 turbo kit with an external boost controller.....bc it seems those turbos controll boost alot better.
oo and im on the stock wastegate 100% stock exhaust setup

Re: help asap
from what i know the manual controller acts the same as the solenoid, just bleeds off pressure.if im not mistaken the stock syty actuator is a 8lb unit and the ecm controlls the amt of air the solenoid bleeds to reach the target boost. I dont have anywhere the funds to even think of gettin a new turbo so im gonna figure it out somehow...................hopefully...oh yea, with the manual controller boost controll is solid, if you consider a slow rising boost gauge that never goes past 8-9 psi solid??????

Re: help asap
not necessarily but it will help bleed off boost, so you stay away from high boost. basically now you need to start fooling with timing, spark plug gaps and fuel pressure to get your KR down.

Re: help asap
make sure you have datamaster, you will have to play with fuel pressure baseline, and check to make sure your timing is at true 0*TDC.

Re: help asap
its basic automotive.
check TDC with piston stop tool and you need a timing light.

Re: help asap
turbo has acceptable shaft play for a high mileage turbo. its actually prob very good for a high miler! I know installing a knob controller isnt rocket science but it doesnt seem to bleed boost no matter how i adjust it? my timing is at a perfect 0' for a known fact. ur6 plugs gapped to .32 all fresh tune-up, a month old. fuel pressure is at 45 line off. I can even fill it up with 100 octane(got it at the pump here in charlotte) and no change

do you have a 3bar map sensor, i didn't see if you had one or not
