BeavisJem 0 Posted February 27, 2007 ok, today i decided to put my G60 FMIC into my car. Unfortuanly the car now drives as fast as a 5cc scooter. What have i done wrong. Took the slam panel off to fit it nice and simple. Put the rallye Ubend on, Only had the centre bolt. There also needs to be one on the front side but i didn;t one (gettign one friday), would this be the cause of my slow car, could it be massive boost leak. Just feels like the further up the rev range you go the slow and less responsive the car. I also put the bonnet bowden cable on but forgot to tighten the bolt so i can't open the bonnet DOH I also cracked a headlight DOH HELP PLEASE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted February 27, 2007 yeah sounds like big boost leak! do you have a gasket on the u bend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeavisJem 0 Posted February 27, 2007 yeah i have the gasket, but i don;t have one of the bolts that holds the u bend on, ony the centre and suppot arm are connected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted February 27, 2007 do i aboost leak test, spray soapy water on all joins and then shut dumpvalve linkage for 2 secs and look for bubbles. Think theres a guide in the wiki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeavisJem 0 Posted February 27, 2007 It must be a boost leak, when i press the accelerator its hessitant and runs like it hasn;t got a supercharger on it. I would do a boost check but i can;t get the bonnet open :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Heath 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Would have thought it was a boost leak, had a similar thing when i refitted my charger in the summer and all it was, the piece of samco off the rsr outlet hadd popped off on one end, therefor a mahooosive boost leak and drivin a bag of poo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
