hello guys , im having trouble with my fd .... i had a stock twins that were blown, and now i have them replaced.. it seemed to work for two days with problem but now it doesnt boost but still drivable ..... it feels like a intercooler leak when i try to boost but it backfires ......i have checked the intercooler, didnt found no leak at all ..... so im trying to find some help to figure out what can be the problem .... i had a f-con hooked up to it but after i installed the turbos .... i left it unhooked ...unplugged everything ,if someone knows what can be the problem please help a brother out ....... the modds i have on the fd is .....

apexi intake
3 inch apexi exhaust
3 inch custom downpipe
apex seals
ported motor
eliminate most vacuums
hks f-con
boost gauge
greddy blow out valve
veilside bodykit

18s niche pulltech

 

Sounds like classic MAP sensor unhooked to me....

Or TPS way out of whack.

 

that sounds like the ECU is in limp mode.....do you know how to get the ECU produce error codes, might want to do a search on here

 

i wouldnt have no idea about the ecu

 

Run a search for 'pull codes', read the sticky FAQ thread at the top of this forum, download the Factory Service Manual from www.iluvmyrx7.com and read that, or go to www.fd3s.net and surf to the ECU section.

ok, ill try that for the ecu, but do you think that could be the problem ....

First, check that the map sensor is still plugged in. It's a little black box about the size of a matchbox that is above the oil filter.

Pull the ECU codes. If there are none, reset it by disconnecting the battery negative and holding down the brake pedal for 30s. This should reset a limp mode condition.

How did you inspect the intercooler piping? You should remove all couplers and rubber elbows and poke/prod them closely. Any leak or crack at all will vent the boost.

Bump? Are we supposed to magically fix your car's problems over the internet somehow? We gave you some suggestions and a method of troubleshooting the problem. Exhaust those possibilities and THEN come back here with the results....

Seriously, it works best as Rynberg described.
