Changed N75, still problems

[Pornstarr]

I changed my N75 valve today, finally.

But I'm still getting a positive deviation in the boost.

Now, I've also got a low reading on the Air intake temp gauge (G42).
I wonder if that's causing the fault?

If not that, what else?

I was hoping to have the car running right after that, but it's disappointing to still have the engine cutting back power

have you pressure tested it?

 

[Blue_Thunder]

Hope for your sake it's not one of the wastegate actuators causing the overboosting.

As Bahnstorm suggests, get a pressure test sorted.

 

[Pornstarr]

Yeah, I hope it's not the wastegates too.

However, the Log's I've done on the boost block show that it's only spiking, rather than holding higher boost all the time.
For half a run, it'll be within the +/- 20mbar tolerance. It'll spike just as I first hit boost in 1st gear. And if I hold off the boost before a run, it'll spike the first time I hit boost.
Then it goes low for a little while, then levels out, but comes on really slowly.

 

[Blue_Thunder]

Can you post some third gear logs up from block 115?

 

[Blue_Thunder]

Oh, and your boost will spike in 1st gear as obviously it rises much quicker than in any other gear.

 

[Pornstarr]

I could never get my GT-four to peak boost in 1st gear, there just wasn't enough load to bring it full before I ran out of revs.

Either way.

Heres a WOT run in 3rd gear I did the other night. These readings are symptomatic of all my runs.....

 

[Blue_Thunder]

The specified/actual boost looks spot on there. Really need to do a log at 100% throttle (mash it!) to be sure though.

MAF reading is lower than you'd expect. What air filter are you using, and when was it last changed?

 

[Pornstarr]

Standard air filter i suspect.
I've had the car 3 weeks now? Not changed the filter.

Will pull it out and have a look tomorrow.
Gonna look into a new fuel filter too. Apparently it's not a normal service item?! If that's 120,000 miles old, then there's definately gonna want a change.

That log there.....that is 100% WOT. Flat to, and buried in the floor just after the logging began.

It's so weird.
The car goes like a greased weasel once the error code is removed. Get serious acceleration in 1st and 2nd....then it all goes away. Pull over....error code back.


Can anyone with a standard car post a similar log, just so I can see the main differences? Please.

 

[Blue_Thunder]

The 4th column in Block 003 shows Throttle angle doesn't it?

Over 7 seconds for FATS is well off the pace. Would defo not expect the Max Boost Limit exceeded to flag up with those boost readings.

 

[bahnstorm.net]

check the tb see if its opening completely,if it is check the sensors on the acc pedal

 

[Pornstarr]

I thought the throttle valve reading was weird, but then discounted it as just not understanding the readings.

I presume, at WOT, it should read 100% then? So, it's only giving me half throttle?

 

[bahnstorm.net]

yes you should see 100% at full throttle opening,try doing a tb re allignment,ign on and leave it for a few mins,you will hear it re set,if that fails to work,disconnect the battery for a while,sometimes unplugging the ecu for a while seems to rectify this too,failing that its either sensors or tb itself

sorry to hijak your post but your problem is the same as what my car did. it is slightly better now i have replaced the stock dump valve and fitted a forge. i have also fitted a 8" cone filter, re-located horn to were origanal air box was and plumed in a dirty great induction pipe! (hence the horn move)

the throttle responce is alot better and it seems to "hold its boost" alot better. it still lags a little but vagcom threw a n75 error at me so i will be replacing that with a n75j. it also sounds awasome as you can hear turbo spooling up, and it dumps when i change gear now!!

not really solid advice you were looking for but shared info is good info! the mods seemed to help my car!
