Hi I just put my turbo setup together, it was boosting just fine and pulled hard untuned, I know never drive untune, but I was just driving it back home, well now before I was gona go get the car tune, the car is now sputtering and bogging I think, it takes off really slow until boost kicks in, anyone thinks I tune will fix this, I don't wanna drive a hour or 2 then find out my motor is toast, any helps please

 

you dun goofed. you probably blew the piston rings. i'll never understand why people romp on untuned cars. gl rebuilding that.

 

blew the piston rings? lol

compression and leakdown test, could be anything but this will point you in the right direction.

 

better hope your motor isnt toast. compression and leakdown for sure.

 

does it sound like a wrx

 

i will do that tomorrow

thanks will do

no it doesnt but if it did what would that be? lol

 

So it is tuned now? if it is i might be a tuning error , if it's not ... well yeah

 

Why do people drive untuned cars? How are there so many stupid people out there?

 

Sputtering and bogging can mean so much. Ignition problems, fuel filter, fuel pump ext. I doubt your motor is blown if it runs fine when you are spooling, if it was blown it would run bad all the time. What spark plugs are you using? What kinda fuel pump? Fuel injectors?

 

no its not but i will be in 2 days.

i know i know, but but i just wanted to see if it boosts, i know it can blow my motor up, but i wont do it no more.. i learned

ima change out my fuel filter asap, im using rc 550

thanks for all the input, ima get it tune on thrusday and ill get back to you guys thank you

 

do you have a base map for the 550s? jw you could be getting to much fuel now for some reason causeing it to bog

 

yea i do have a base map for the 550 ill find out in a day or so, yea i hope so but its been sitting ever since..

 

prolly because they want to test out their mad tyte greddy type s style bov.

 

Warm it up. Do a compression test. Pray the numbers are not low.

 

yikes, if you knew not to drive untuned why did you? I hate when people spend so much time to do a kit, and then they skip the important part..

 

lol na its on open dp so i couldnt even hear it

yea its fine im getting tuned tomorrow

yea i know tomorrow im getting tune..
