ok so this little problem is been trundling on for a while now, am after a few opinions here...
I have a forge 007 D/V how reliable are they, i mean has anyone had any problems with them sticking? i just serviced mine (thanks to forge) but i seem to be getting a problem on full boost, when i am really under load, i have this problem when i change gear, that it fails to come back on boost, if i lift off then re appy the throttle, it is fine, and will boost again (standard cupra R).
But today i was on a private road, and was just under three figures, when i lifted off and re applyed the throttle, i had full boost on the guage but no acceleration at all, just wouldnt pull, was like this for about 5miles. I pulled over and checked pipes and connections etc, then i continued on my way home, still no power, got to a roundabout, put me boot down onto the floor, there was all i can describe it as was a pop which came from the air filter side, like the d/v noise when i lift off, then the car boosted to 13psi and just launched off on full chat. So whats this all about then?
Any ideas? Sticky D/V?
Collapsing TIP on boost?
N75?
Anything else???? just so i can start to know where to look..i am going to put a standard bosch D/V back on tomorrow and see what happens. But does the lack of acceleration on boost sound like a pipe collapsing under pressure? Any ideas guys?
Cheers Matt
