Spoony Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 hi yesterday at 11pm i made some videos on our autobahn. when i drove 130 miles the boost pressure got lost. i stopped the car, the pressore was always -0,2 bar, no boost and no vacuum. i drove home carfully with 60 miles. car is running as long as i drive slowly. today i checked if one of the intercooling piping is broken. everything is ok, no lost of pressure in the intercooler or the piping. i started the engine, black smoke came out of the exhaust, no boost and the car begins to stotter like yesterday. what else could be broken? i hear the turbos spinning but no pressure. is there anything inside the oem twins that can make an error like that? im wondering that it doesnt show any vacuum. normally i have -0,7 bar when the engine runs sorry for my bad english, hope you understand what i am talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 if its export spec, IE for europe then it should be the same as a Uk car no? So black smoke and loss of boost pressure is usually a popped off hose or a split hose, double check very closely for spit pipes/hoses You sure its black smoke, not blue, black would indicate excessive fuel been burnt AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 ok i found it! one of the pipes from the pressure sensor at the intake side was droped off. there was a t-adapter for the boost gauge. thank god the car is doing 1 bar now, everything oem, just a new fuel pump. is 1 bar ok or do i have to take other sparks? its a jspec, 2nd cat removed and spec nür catback. how much hp should it make right now with 1 bar?

Ric Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 you want to watch that if you've taken it from the stock FPR point. could make you run a little lean at high revs which could be, well, devastating. Make sure its tight... 1bar = around 340-360 bhp im not totally sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yep if that hose pops off at high boost you'll destroy your engine in short order, so secure it well -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
