Thanks for all the help guys!

Took my car down to Reevesy's yesterday arvo and he wacked in those bosch coilpacks and leads for me so the car is no longer missing on full boost. Just keeps pulling

 

 

Also! It turns out that my waste gate line's weren't even connected properly haha, Reevesy fixed em up and wacked in a boost T and i was hitting 13psi in 4rth on the drive home

 

So stoked, car is a little demon now Almost fully ready for the HVC next month!

Yessssss

Good stuff mate.

On ya Adrian!

[Reevesy]

Yeah the blokes that installed in engine didn't even connect the stock boost controller, just had the hose from the turbo straight to the waste gate. The stock coil packs looked fine no visible cracks but the plugs they had in there were bkr5e-11. Not sure if these May have been the problem?

[Adam]

That gap is too big on those plugs I believe!

[Grant]

Gap needs to be 0.8mm on the plugs, I had the same thing on my RS with 1.1mm gapped plugs and it would break down badly under higher boost.

Glad it's running a lot better! Onya for giving a hand Adrian

[Reevesy]

New plugs that went in were BKR6E gapped to .8mm, and im just guessing at the BKR5E being a colder plug?

[Neffy]

Yeah couldn't be happier ay cheers again brother, legend!

 

Yeah not sure, i checked online though and they're not platinum's that's for sure! So the guys who did my swap gipped me about $50 extra the sly dawgs, can't believe they billed me for platinum plugs.

 

 

Oh and you know how i needed a jump after we'd finished? Went to the gym the other day, came outside after a couple hours to find my car was dead. Enough power for accessories but not enough to kick over, so devo had to bus it back home to grab my jumper pack haha

 

Anyways, turned out i didn't tighten up my terminals so when i parked my car and walked away the loose terminal was tripping out my immobilizer, making it buzz and draining the battery the whole time.

 

All good now, tightened them up and haven't had any problems since. Gonna keep my jump pack in the back for the next few days just incase though lol

That's good to hear, when you get back the boost your missing is a great feeling...
