Ok my stage 0 kit went in yesterday. The engine putters once I get past about 3500rpm like the stock fuel injectors can not keep up with the flow from the turbo. The boost gauge I received was broken so I am getting another one overnighted to me today so that I can make sure all the vacume lines are ok and I am not running more than 6psi. What do you think my issue is? I am 99% sure all the vacume lines are correct and the 6psi spring is indeed in the waiste gate. Also after the blow off noise there is a strange are wooshing noise for a second I am not sure if this is the waist gate dumping or somethhing to do with the blow off valve. I am the first one around here turboed so none of us know the answers to how things should be sounding etc...

Does this puttering happen at wide open throttle?? Or is this just partial throttle?? If only partial then this is normal. This happens when the ecu is going from closed loop to open loop.

Depending on Throttle %, your BOV (HKS I presume) will have different sounds. Low speeds = rattle snake sound, wot = Bird whistle/chirp sound.

have you checked your wastegate if it is leaking it can cause major problems....AKA my firs motor blue b/c I had a bad wastegate... in your case it might just be leaking

whitetrd

how would I know if it was leaking...ps i am burning oil like crazy

vypa

yikes, burning oil is NOT good. are you just going by the exhaust to say you are burning oil, or are you actually consuming oil at a noticeable rate?

whitetrd

not consuming much its just everytime I get out I can smell a powerful smell of burnt oil

how would you kno if your wastegate is leaking?

JL56TC

you will get a boost spike. sometimes your turbo will not spool right. Your turbo will spool partially or will drop off rapidly at higher RPM

ok kool, is it common to have a rough idle with the stage 0 and intercooler upgrade?, like the car would die once in a while if let go of the gas abruptly, i kno its because i'm leaning out but are others having this same issue?

rhythmnsmoke

Do you have fuel management added? The Stage 0 will work fine without fuel management, but when you start adding upgrades, it's better to play it safe by adding fuel management.

galyion

thinking about getting one but all the problems make it not seem worth it.

u sure its burning oil? i know w/ my greddy kit it smelled like something was burning but was told it was the manifold cuz of the coating. that went away in time. id say check ur oil before u start ur car every time to be sure

the stock injectors should be good.....did you change our your spark plugs? at wot, the open dump from the wastegate sounds like a throaty flapping sound.....thats normal.....i didn' run fuel management for 6 months, and have had no problems whatsoever......may smell like burning oil cause half of your pipes could have oil on them, and you just didnt clean them off....if not, see if you have an oil leak by driving down the street and seeing if you leave droplets, or the night before,put a piece of cardboard under you car and see if anything leaks from there.....good luck

i have the emanage but don't have the money to get it tuned or get injectors i just have the stage 0 with the intercooler upgrade, could it be a vac line issue? because at idle if i just rev the car i can't get past 0 psi, i have to be driving the car for me to get the bov to go off., since you said the stage 0 should be running fine so there isn't an idle issue? could the intercooler upgrade effect my idle?

nebster

jay jay you wont get past 0 psi when you're not in gear.

now your bov should still go off. make sure your vac line is t'd into the vac line of the throttle body.

and to the op please post pictures of the install.
