After just cruising arround for the first few runs after I fixed my ignitio=
n problem I decided to see just how quick my car is today. The cars quick, =
but it now isn't opening the wastegate I think. Having never dealt with a c=
ar with overboost protectin before, my simple and stupid question is : When=
I'm hard on the throttle in any gear except first the car arround 1.6bar o=
n the factory boost gauge the car trys to throw me through the windshield w=
ith the motor shutting down for a second or two. Would that be the fuel pum=
p cutout on overboost?
And for the slightly hard question: I'm getting a huge (~11.5 amp) draw on =
the battery now with everything shut off. I did have an interior light in t=
he front passengers footwell sticking on so I removed the bulb, but today I=
came outside to find a very dead battery, and upon recharging an ~11.5 amp=
draw. I had a friend sit in the back seat with a multimeter while I pulled=
fuses, but not a single fuse stopped the draw. Any hints on where to start=
tomorrow?
