wattwatt Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 This is what happens when trying to keep up with my stock TT6 haha Can't believe managed to tear open a silicone pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Running problem has now been solved by SRD - it was a faulty boost control solenoid which Lee said was stuck in the open position so was effectively allowing really high boost levels but thankfully the syvecs made it boost cut at 2 bar which created the kangarooing effect we were experiencing. Solenoid has now been replaced and is controlling the boost much better than before. The beast is now back to full fitness looking for a Black stock TT6 piloted by somebody called Danny;) Edited October 8, 2015 by jcbt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Have you been beaten by ANOTHER stock TT? Bout time you let Chris take over in the hot seat John? As you know I am generous to a fault - even TT's beat singles when they have no usable boost. Chris's time will come once my money has run out.

j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Looking forward to the updates Are you using the Peirburg / Porsche boost solenoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Looking forward to the updates Are you using the Peirburg / Porsche boost solenoid? That what we had before and it was faulty, got stuck in the open position allowing high boost levels. Luckily the syvecs had a boost cut at 2bar. We have a new MAC boost solenoid now and the boost is alot smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just to add that if the MAC one fails it does so in a closed position therefore further protecting the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I wish I'd known that before going with the pierburg. Yours is the first peirburg failure ive heard of though, and as you've found the syvecs will step in if it fails. But i'll be changing to a mac if the car ever needs to be remapped. I bet you're glad you didn't use an emanage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Anything other than Syvecs and my engine would have been destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 when you put it like that, the extra layer of protection is reassuring. You have a part number for the solenoid? Did you get it from SRD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 when you put it like that, the extra layer of protection is reassuring. You have a part number for the solenoid? Did you get it from SRD? Yeah Lee always uses the MAC solenoids now, might be worth droping him a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The MAC 3 port valve looks identical to the one supplied with greddy boost controllers Ill give Lee a call tomorrow. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Was going to say any 3 way controllers you can pick at what state it fails at sort of, clearly a normally open will fail allowing uncontrolled boost but if its plumbed normally closed will just run at wastegate boost , that being said if the solenoid was to jam it could be stuck in any position open or closed. So always best to have a boost cut set in the ecu, glad nothing was damaged guys and hope to see you backmon the road soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is back at Lee's now for a few winter modifications . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
