Re: picked up the UrQ, couple things wrong...

[Michael Williams <urquattro@surfree.com>]

So far, thank you everyone for your help...i have a checklist of things 
to look at....

couple things to add.  It is definitely not the boost cut-out as all that 
happens is simply that i lose turbo boost, but the car keeps 
accelerating, but much slower...


Also, supposedly all of the hoses are new, i am sure they used the 
wastegate from the MC, and it is their chip, which i believe is identical 
to the one IA sells.

I noticed that it also never quite reaches 1.8 bar (i dont know the exact 
conversion to psi, what, 12?), at least not that i have had a chance to 
look at...the highest i have seen on the guage appears to be about 
1.6-1.7 or so....  When the problem happens, it fluctuates very slightly, 
then drops off to 1.0 or 0 positive pressure...

as far as the alternator thing supposedly being a fusebox thing, that 
makes no sense as the fusebox was just replaced by 2bennett while the 
engine was being converted...

I would pull codes immediately, but alas, i have no way to do it.  Andrew 
has a lead coming into the passenger cabin, but i have nothing to hook up 
to it to pull the codes...If i did, all of this would probably be solved 
already...

Im gonna give him a call and see what he says....What is frustrating is 
the fact that when the car is in there, it takes a long time to get it 
back, and my father is so upset already that they took about 3-4 weeks 
too long to do the conversion, i dont know what he would say....

Alas.... :o(

But so everyone knows, its an 86 MC engine....so there is some more 
info...

later...
