one week back i lost complete boost to the twins do to a torn coupler joining the cross pipe and the y pipe.

this issue was fixed and regained boost. however now the issue has taken on a different twist. when the primary boost transition is made(4500) to the secondary turbo, i am facing boost lost again. around 3psi @ best.

forum member Mahjik linked me to the trouble shooting thread regarding twins and reviewed and studied it from front to back-back to front. Hell i am lost @ this point.


if anyone has any 2cents they want to share, your comments are welcomed and thanked.


man i really want to figure this twin **** out before going single....

happy Friday guys

 

wow nothing!!!!

 

I've got my money on a leaking/deffective charge relief valve or associated tubing.

Also could be charge control valve not opening fully due to being stuck. Or no pre-spool control due to stuck actuator/leaky vacuum hoses, or pressure lines blown off pressure chamber causing slow opening or zero opening of secondary turbo control.

 

from what you have mentioned , it seems that you are very knowledgeable with the stock twins do to personal experience. LOL.

when the secondary comes on line it seems like there is a leak of some sort. i have already examined the turbo actuator and both pressure and vacuum line that lead into the camber are good.

 

Just tell A-Spec to hurry up with the 500R!

 

lol

 

i need to change the charge solenoids and the charge relief solenoid.!!!!! this is next on the list!!! wish me luck

 

If you get these working Mike, just let me have your 500R kit... or at least borrow it!

 

haha Archie. No it like asking me to borrow my tools man.....

 

just received the two solenoids from ray @ malloy mazda and the upper-i-m gasket. going to take apart the car tonight.
i hope this is the root of my Boost issue(secondary boost)
wish me luck peeps-and if this **** is does not cure the problem, Off to Mazdatrix I go!!!

I will post some pictures later...

 

well it's Friday night and i have started the break down Looking for the solenoids
some picture for you guys.
before the "turbo boost HUNT"

this is why guys go single " the rats nest"

 

Remember guys that i am looking the resolve the boost issue on the secondary turbos after the 4500 transition. After following the twin turbo trouble shooter guide- i have come to the conclusion that my Charge solenoid and the charge relief solenoid have gone had. thats Two bad parts i need to change from the rats nest!!!! Ray @ malloy mazda was kind enough to hunt and ship the parts out asap( ray is the man ) Super fast!!!.
okay thats 2-solenoids and 1- UIM gasket needed for this pain in the *** Job.
the parts needed for this boost issue( I think????)
the charge relief solenoid

UIM gasket needs to be replace after cracking her open to get to the RATS


here is the side view of the engine bay with my forum name!!!! wow

 

^ that pic is photoshopped!! j/k man i hope this fixes the boost problem in your car.

funny how u have both a apexi intake and a blitz one...

 

at this point i was thinking I HOPE i am not going in the wrong direction. maybe there is nothing bad with the solenoids???? Why did i not take it to Mazdatrix???
another view @ the reason why peeps go single turbo

 

Thanks!!! me too
BTW yes it blitz, no it's apex-i, no it's both LOL
just a better fitment i guess.

 

****! I am now changing out the vac line that i didnt have a chance to get to Under the UIM. HOW fun is this I thinks this is the 3rd fd which i have done the vac lines.

 

lol or you could have just brought it to me

 

Go non seq and you won't have all that headache
