i had this problem 1 day after tinkering with the engine in my 2001 classic. was like hitting a brick wall at about 4000rpm. i sh*t myself! i checked all the boost pipes for leaks when i got home, turned out i had knocked the bottom pipe off the boost solenoid, oopsie! re fitted the pipe, prob solved. i would check all the boost pipes.

just back from my visit to Duncan at Hypertech. a bit dissapointed with the result. 203bhp/220ftLb was hoping for around 220bhp but it is running rich, so Duncan insisted its not that bad. Duncan also gave me a few tips how to get it running right and what my next mods should be. i took a few videos i will upload when i get home on mon, poor sound quality, was taken on my fone and i was too close to the fan. what a noise it made and what a roar the car made!!! should have seen the size of the grin on my face!!! would recomend Duncan to anybody. good guy and a great service! and my engine didn't go pop.

booked Duncan today. 12:30 a week tomorrow. they had no probs fitting me in.

what kind of price am i likely to pay???

wow, most of that is over my head. like, i have a scorpion full stainless system from the turbo back and a green panel filter, i thought FMIC would be my next mod then a remap. but there is no mention of FMIC in the mods list for a level 1 remap. also it says that there will be increased lag after a gearshift and sometimes induces compressor surge if fitted before it is necessary. when is it necessary? is it too soon for me to go down this road? is there other things i need to do first like Walbro 255 fuel pump?

i will be giving Duncan at Hypertech a call tomorrow. my next question is on Remapping. where to go? price? discounts etc. for future reference.

that is were my mate got his cavy turbo done, was £90 for the hour. if it took 1hr 10mins was going to be £180. when the hour was up he pulled the plug. anybody else got any garage contacts for me?

i agree

where did you get it done Westtra?

cheers Paul

ive never heard of one going pop either, why would it? a mate got his cavy turbo done, cost him over £90. Paul555sti, you got a contact number for Dunc at Hypertech?

pop???? first ive heard of that. how expensive is it going to be? i was told it would be around the £100 mark.

hi folks. im heading to Glasgow next weekend (Thur or Fri), and im taking the scoob. so im thinking i should get it on a rolling road to see what its putting out. can anybody point me in the direction of one in the Glasgow area. is it too short notice? it will be my first time. not the scoobs tho, there is a clip of it on ou tube on a rolling road, the car must have had a fault at the time as they failed to get proper readings. help is much appreciated.

i would agree. i had the same problem, replaced the MAF sensor and now its fixed. if you do a search for this type of topic at the bottom of the main page you will find loads of advice as it is a very common fault.

uh? don't get that.

i wasn't really posing, had just taken the feed for ma caorich out o the boot. its not just my toy its a farm runabout too. the front isn't so clean inside will be getting a good clean on sat tho! i agree, de-badging does look good. could do with getting rid of the lock aswell. stands out like a sore thumb!

just to let all who gave me tips on how to fix my car know, got my new MAF today, all fixed now! cant believe my luck, there are so many people on here with the same kind of prob and a new MAF doesnt fix it. feels like a totaly different car now. sooooo much more power, i have the same smile on my face as i had the first time i drove it. chuffed! thanks all. here is a few pics with my my new flap decals.

ye pal, hundred bucks closer

ye, was a quick turn around! i dont rate induction kits. i have a green panel filter already and a stainless from turbo, so fmic and a remap is next on the list. that will do me. handling is fine. that was adressed before i got the car.

ha ha, your right enough RA Dunk! did a search on scoobynet and on here, im thinking now the money would be better spent elsewhere! cheers bud!

because then i would have nothing to show for my £100

hi folks. im looking to buy a dump valve for my 2001 classic. there is so many to chose from, can anybody point me in the direction of a good 1 for up to 100 bucks please? cheers!

thoughts go out to all families involved. a very sad day.

fixed my boost problem today by cleaning out the boost solenoid. pulling like a train now! but, got some idling gremlins now ECU says AF sensor. will get to that tomorrow night. Ive settled on gun metal mate, i might sell these wheels, they are too hard to clean. there is a lip inside the spokes were all the s**t of the day gathers. get her running sweet first and a boost gauge and turbo timer . that's my plans for the immediate future.
