K.. Thanks for all the replies

Couple things you could try.

1, buy MAF ($100~). Put it in and reset the ecu. That'll fix it or rule out the easy fix.

2, check for leaks in your charged air piping. This will also cause these rough idle issues on turbo cars. You may have blown a coupler or you could have a loose coupler. Since you have no code this may be a likely culprit since you won't have underboost codes like oem turbo cars.

3, just reset the ecu without the new MAF.

I'll keep thinking. I've had a few turbo cars, one I had massive headaches with.

I would check for Vaccum leaks and map sensor.

This long starting problem seems to be a common thing with this kit. If I was Chris, I would have turned around and came back....if its not right, well its just not right.

HufferSS · 06-24-2012, 12:08 PM

I would unplug and plug back in...every sensor you can find. If it started great then it's probably something stupid. Does it start ok hot? Cold? Look for a trend and go from there. The other turbo car we saw a video on from there started like ass too so maybe a tune issue....you need to eliminate variables.

This car ran like stock other day. I was with chris when he was checking the tune and making sure everything was good. So I'm sure it's not the tune

Yeah...unlikely but the car starts and runs like crap so no stone should be left unturned.

Are you running a boost a pump?

Chris did offer to turn around so i cant point any fingers at him. He had already been driving back to georgia so i figured i would give it a couple days just to see if it would keep on doing it. Im going to lift up the car in a little bit and take ur advice to check the piping. There is a speed bump in my neighborhood and even though i take that thing at like 1 mile an hour i do remember hearing something dangling around bouncing around wen i went over it. I didnt even think about that cause my house was still a mile away and it ran fine going home

SS_Diaz · 06-24-2012, 12:33 PM

And no i dont believe there is a boost a pump. From the parts he listed on my build it was just a zl1 fuel pump and 80lb injectors

10aSSee D · 06-24-2012, 12:52 PM

Ok, I was thinking it might be a boost a pump problem because my buddy and the same problem and it was related to it.

hightower · 06-24-2012, 01:13 PM

Best of luck to you man! Hope you get it figured out!
