turbo stutter

Post by chrispurvis100 »

Just trying to solve a little niggle with my 2 (standard rev 3 tubby). When it comes on boost after a gear change, say around 3000rpm, It feels as if the turbo stutters for 2-3 seconds, then pulls cleanly to the red line??
It doesn't happen all the time, and if I wait 2 seconds after I change gear and then accelerate, I don't get the stutter?? Dump valve problem??

I get this. It seems to be related to boost and not rpms though.

At about .7 bar it stutters, holds back then clears and goes again.

Been told to check my ignighter and changet the thermostat.

If you have a dump valve like a Bailey it could also be that.
