hi guys, i am having my boost die out when i shift into 2nd gear
WHAT COULD IT BE???
rtek7 2.1 for ecu
750cc, 1680cc
tial 46mm wastegate
.70 A/R .81A/R turbonetics turbo
monster street port
the funny thing is, that it only dies out when i shift hard to 2nd gear! look at the video, i do a pull from 3000 to redline and it does fine.. still have to perfect AFR tho

IF my wastegate were to stay open, wouldn't SOUND like an open wastegate all the time when my boost dies??

 

what psi is "die out" is this still a hybrid turbo? ".70 A/R .81A/R turbonetics turbo" is kinda vague.

 

Sounds like bad ignition breakup, even on the 2nd pull. Do you have any kind of upgrades to your ignition system?

 

i have an msd 6-A to the leading side and all 4 trailing plugs. and its not a hybrid turbo, it's a T4 undivided .81 A/R and .70A/R cold side both turbonetics apexi bov

 

could it be my POS accel spark plug wires??

 

I had an MSD 6A on the leading. It didn't cut it, I was still getting breakup. It was a T04S 60-1 turbo with .70 compressor and .96 turbine housing bolted to an HKS log manifold. At the time my plugs were 10 heat range irridium (BR10EIX) with Magnecore wires. I ended up selling the MSD and going with HKS twin power and that solved it.
