i got my fmic on.... was on my way up to get the pipes welded and i think i blew a connection...... my car won't go over 1000 rpm, and turbo won't spool above 0 psi..........


there is some kind of weird noise, but i need to cut a couple tabs off the bumper as they are hitting the fmic, but i don't think that is the noise i am hearing, also there is no cel........ is there a bt i can run on k03 programming for a while?

i have apr software, but a second ecu that i could send out......... i am not looking to upgrade the ebay fmic core right now or internals..... i am thinking a elim kit maybe

nothing too big or dramatic...... and i wanna keep as many stock parts as possible.......and no k04

 

bump.......... tech or cincy........

 

Have you checked the pipes yet? When you blow a charge pipe you cant really drive the car and it can stall if you drive it. If you think its the turbo, take off the intake and see if the fins are bent.

 

ya you can take off the intake and see if there is alot of shaft play. if so time for bt

 

soundls like you blew one of your fmic connections....

you may be experiencing something called N/A....lol

I'd bet $ that your turbo is fine.....

remove your FMIC, then put it back on, spray hairsray on the ends of the piping, then clamp down hard....

I'd bet you'd be as good as new....

 

just go bt anyway

When is it ever not time to go bt?

 

The most common faults in your case is the turbo outlet hose being silicone, and your FMIC piping being aluminum/steel, so what happens is you can't properly clamp them down.

Check the outlet connection, that's probably what popped off. If so, grab a piece of 1.75" steel straightpipe and jam it in the turbo outlet hose to flex it out, then couple the FMIC piping to the outlet hose and it should be fine.

 

when you are already heavy in debt and having the engine built
