Chunkys Pulsar GTi
- Thread starter chunky
- Start date
Chosing cold side now as it's cleaner but it'll be good.
Chunky, something else i learned while getting it remapped, it will boost better if you also have the idle pipe as part of the boost pipework and not the intake pipework like i did at the time. Stock gtir has it as part of the intake so if you're using that, blank it off and have it say 50cm away from the throttle on the cold side of the boost pipes.

Yeah I must have overlooked it. But it's odd because when I put it together im sure I adjusted it as it should be :/ I'll be doing that tomorrow when it's cool. But it's a turbo off job
lol....Phone....
It's half a a GTI-R one. Because of the SBody turbo I needed to modify the actuator bracket and rod to operate as it should.
The annoying thing is that I actually have a pulsar compressor housing that would have fitted if I'd have just paid a little more attention and looked at the core properly :/
But hey its done now if it still cause me issues then I'll get another actuator and swap the housings etc over

Don't want too much surely? Just enough to hold it closed under normal/moderate driving?
....Phone....
? The actuator is to hold it closed until it reaches a curtain boost level correct? So it wont hold it open?
....Phone....
Just make sure the wastegate still opens enough though
Right so today I spent the day sorting the issue with the actuator preload and also my friend popped round and done a full leak check in the pipework. We found quite a few small leaks in the pipework which resulted in it not being able to hold 0.5bar of boost! Mostly just a tighten to all the clamps but it was also a reset on the compressor housing outlet gasket (with some sealant) and a change of a jubilee clip or two and it then held fine to 1.4 bar 
we didn't test over that as I won't be near that for a long time lol
This is where it was.
And this is where it needed to be!
Boost leak testing
And In the total time it took us to do all of this. My friend just about got the front bumper off his S13 haha he knew it would be a bitch but I can't believe how much of a twat it was! Lol
And a little video
She now is boosting from 2k and on full boost by 3.3/5 happy happy happy
