[Mk2] [Turbo] arrrrgh i took the spoiler off and now she's broken

Post by MR_Cerberus »

ok so the spoiler has nothing to do with it (looks sweet in my mind tho)

just driving home put my foot down and and with a jolt as i came on boost the revs dropped. now i think she then started to run on 3 cylinders as she was lumpy as xxxx couldnt get above 25mph. she was running what sounded ok at 2k but would then xxxx the bed if i put my foot down even a tiny bit and she wont idel. will rev unloaded though

any ideas greatly appreciated

many thanks Andy

What years your car buddy ?!

Sounds like a rev1/2 ! Symptoms of overboosting, can just switch the ignition off and back on again !

Need to find out what's caused the over boosting ...

yeah its a 1991 or 92 (have know jap info for the car) but it wont idel so if it was overboosting surly it would still idel and run till the boost kicked in. what kind of things course over boosting. this is my first turbo car and its also one of the most complex electronics wise
