All,

 

Took my supra for a hard run before (showing off to some freinds :rolleyes: ) My TT usually boost to at least 1.2 bar then rises to about 1.3/1.4 at really high speeds.

 

On the way back the boost was up to 0.7 max and the car did seem slower.

 

When i got back to my road i noticed that i was getting the pigeon noise when i let off the gas which i beliveve it turbo stall :(

 

Someone seuggested checking all the piping for splits cos i had driven it hard but wont be able to do that until tommorrow now as its too dark.

 

Can i have other peoples input as to what they think might have happended.

 

Chris W, if your reading this mate what do you think as u know my engine.

 

Thanks All

 

Matt

WoooooooHOOOOOOOOO!! Fixed it!!!! Yeah!!!!

 

Came back from work about 7:00 tonight and thought i would take a quick look under the bonnet as i had a bit of time to spare before it went dark.

 

The first thing i noticed was the BOV (standard one) was slightly loose on the inlet side. I tightened it up, turned the engine on and hey preston, when i gave the throttle a rev to make the boost build up, let go and hey presto!!! no pigeons under the hood!!!!!!!!!!!! Took it for a spin and i was never so happy to loose control of the back end (it was wet!) full power again!!!!

 

 

Thanks to everyone who advised me that the pipes could be loose, and especially those that said the BOV might be f*cked cos it made me look there first!!!

 

Couldnt be more happy. Thought i had done something serious!! but it was as simple as tightening up a hose end hey! mad!!!!!!!!

 

:D :D :D
