JayJay1374 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi Guys, after getting my car back after having the valve stems replaced and turbos changed the second turbo isnt working, so anyway. when on boost the first turbo pulls to 0.7bar then as soon as the second turbo should kick in it looses boost. The boost drops to around 0.5 the slowly falls the higher in the revs it goes. its probably a problem with the wrong hose on the wrong place or something similar, could anyone shed some light please? ive been studying the sequential system problems as much as possible, its asif the EGCV isnt opening. the car boosted fine before the turbos where changed, only reason they were changed was due to the oil seals leaking, so all the actuators functioned properly before. Thanks Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Fetch it over too mine if you want johnny see if you can match the hoses up, that way you can see if everything is where it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The other thing to consider is it a faulty VSV unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Sounds like it's an air leak on the turbo side. It's sealed enough to take the pressure from 1 turbo but can't take it from both and letting the air out the silicon joiner. Sh1t clamps or incorrectly positioned pipework if you ask me.

Check, if all the hoses are connected right and that there are no air leaks. Had the similar issue on mine. Problem was, the hose from the pressure tank came off, after installing an EBC and running one hose down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Sounds to me like the second turbo boost isn't joining in with the first, and the first turbo can't deliver the air volume needed. Check the intake air control valve area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The other thing to consider is it a faulty VSV unit Mine was doing a similar thing, si I put it to ttc mode, which cured the low boost problem. I put it down to a faulty vsv, after reading up about it, but to this day, I still don't know what one it could be - so its stayed in ttc mode!

JayJay1374 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. I guessed it would be. I just hope it's dry tonight so I can give it a good test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJay1374 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 well not great news, after converting to TTC it doesnt really run any different, still no boost increase, so it looks like im going to have to start stripping the turbo side and hopefully find a split hose or something......

Kite Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Did you ever find the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay1374 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes I did. One of the hoses from the vacuum canister under the inlet manifold had crumbled away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
