    cant hold on to boost

    If you've got a bad leak, it's gonna piss out black smoke and idle like crap. You can check on an aftermarket boost gauge, vacuum should be about 18-20 when warm and idling. If it's up at about 10 you have a leak. Leaks are generally heard quite easily, just stick your ear around the engine bay...

    Hai all :) Did a couple of new things on the car, and thought i'd troll too

    So how is the mk3 world? How is Supramania doin? :D Not an awful lot has changed with my car, yep it's still yellow :p Had a problem with my mrel circuit, it still has a problem but I had mega cold start issues jumping it to ign bypassing the original circuit. I have enough voltage to...

    removing my automatic tranny, loose but not coming off

    LOL The way I see it, I just did mine the other day like that... and I'm a girl... so if a boy can't do it, he needs to harden up or take some hard pills :p haha :)

    AFM EXperiment and Test

    My guess is inconvenient driveability due to intercooler pipes blowing off lol. You could... physically do it but I should expect that the afm won't appreciate boosted air coming through the afm at that velocity vs being at the intake before the turbo. Just do your IC pipes properly and it...

    Car wont start - has zero power

    I think he's talking about the power circuit breaker, you just push it in if it trips. That particular CB is a White / Blue strip wire, have you tapped into that anywhere for anything? Also check the cables going from the battery to starter, alternator for shorts to ground (altho technically...

    removing my automatic tranny, loose but not coming off

    omg, see, that's what happens when we keep getting all the shitty auto's here, we're well versed in them hah. Yes torque converter bolted to flex plate. 6 bolts, hold ratchet on crank pulley while undoing torque converter bolts. If you can't manage it, take some hard pills and finish the job ;)...

    Low voltage on MREL pin of ecu

    I think I'll leave the new ign source on the mrel wire but I'll find that wire on the isc and wire that directly to mrel. At the moment I've done this Original MREL at ecu ------- Fusebox Now MREL at ecu ------- | Cut off Fused & switched IG1 -------- Fusebox Oooh, I lied, I'm using IG1...

    Low voltage on MREL pin of ecu

    Thank you 3p I will check it out, appreciate it :D Oh and I did mention in the first post that I checked all the 12v sources and they were fine... except mrel. By fine I mean I checked the voltages against the others and they were all holding similar voltage, what doesn't is mrel. (grounds are...

    FP discrepancy - elec/manual gauge

    Prosport for ya! My oil pressure gauge is 20psi off. They sent me another one, same 20psi off. I have no qualms with the staff and service, that part is absolutely fantastic :D Just unfortunate that some of their gauges are off. Over a year after I bought my gauges from prosport I had my oil...

    Low voltage on MREL pin of ecu

    Hey ;) I seem to have a problem with low voltage on the mrel pin of the ecu. I've tried another ecu with no change at all. I've checked the various grounds and ignition sources and they appear fine yet my mrel... sucks heh. I really can't think of how this can happen so I'm going to bypass...

    LOL car won't turn off! or shut off. Keeps running.

    I had the same thing except I managed to actually turn the engine off but didn't notice acc was still on. Found out some retard thought cable tying on my ignition would be a great idea! When I pushed in the key I managed to just turn it off but also push it away from the barrel so the key...
