INJECTORS??



need upgraded ones maybe 

But (and bear in mind I know nothing about injectors) would they struggle beofre 2500 RPM and then be fine after :S

standard injectors are apparently good for 220bhp from the reading i've done - perhaps its possible they aren't opening up fully under load 

unplugged my MAF and took it for a drive - performance was crap so it isn't that although it didn't stall and i didn't have a lumpy idle which i was expecting 

i'm pretty sure i've got a boost leak as you can hear the air rushing as the turbo spools, lots of black smoke but then it clears and away i go    had a bit of a poke under the car but need to jack it up which i hope to do later today

i'm fecking stumped to be honest

dont tell all the ladies you have a stumpy 

the injectors could be sticking at low down revs and then getting forced open at higher revs thus why there ok after 2500

UPDATE

big thanks to Dai-Cymru (again!)

solved my boost leak - guess i'll never learn from past mistakes - forgot to swap the o-rings off the old pipe onto the new Forge Pipe  :embarassed:

so boost leak solved BUT possibly another even larger problem spotted - oil in the intercooler 

that normally means that a seal is going somewhere and the likely candidate - TURBO 

i'm starting to give up to be honest - if my turbo goes it will be a standard one going on - i'm not going to chase more power as i can't be doing with the pitfalls it leads too

Glad thats fixed bud 

You think the mods may have killed the turbo? still got that vibration then?

its a possibility - engine has done nearly 100K and its run the last 18K at much higher boost levels

still got the vibration but the power band it is in appears to be less    need to run it for a few days and see how we go

at this point in time i'm pretty gutted to say the least
