Did you get a TQ wrench for LIM??

Nice color on the blower. That the VHT paint?

Yes Sir, a fellow GPF member let me borrow his torque wrench. The paint is VHT engine enamel. Hopefully after I get out of the Army I will be able to do more to the engine bay, but for now it works. I took the car to get a state inspection yesterday and the Inspector and a few of his coworkers where standing in front of the car admiring the SHINY blower HAHA. Then he took it for a break check, then spun the tires. I thought to myself he better pass my car now that he ragged on it.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Happy Thanksgiving To all of GPF community, had a great day with the family and on the way back from South Austin up to Fort Hood area I took the toll road. The toll road has nice smooth surface and very little traffic. It also has a speed limit of 80 MPH. We where in my wife's Jeep and made good time doing the speed limit haha. It's nice to haul a$$ legally.

I love Texas Speed Limits

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

I celebrated a little to early. My car is back to producing only three lbs of boost. Yesterday it got up to 7.6, then today it's only 3.3, I checked all my vacuum fittings. Not sure what to about the intermitten boost. Guess I will just deal with it.
 


Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Got a way to scan it?

What are the fuel trims (LTFT's) telling you?

Spray carb cleaner? You're SURE all the vac lines are in check...even on the back/bottom of the MAP sensor?

The only thing I can scan with is my Torque App, I have to find LTFT and then take a screen shot, what should I look for, number wise?

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Just LMK what the thing says.

Get it warmed up at idle...running for about a minute or so will do...whatever gets you to operating temps...

It should sit close-ish to 0.0...especially at WOT.

But if it's reading 16.4....then you sir has a vac leakssss

Say that last part...

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Ok so I can monitor LTFT bank 1 and Fuel Trim Bank 1

Here is Idle in the driveway

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Gave the car a much needed hand wash today and then took it out for a drive and some pictars. Here are the ones I kept.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Well yall I'm stumped and tired/ PO, I replaced the vac hose going from the BBV solenoid to FPR, replaced vac hose from the FPR to under the snout, replaced vac hose from under the snout to the map sensor and vac hose from the evap solenoid to the TB. Only getting a max boost reading of 3.3 on the Torque app and half of the lego blocks on the factory gauge. I have no clue where to go from here. I have new LIM gaskets, new O-ring on the Vac tree, new MAP sensor, new EVAP solenoid, new BBV, new BBV solenoid, new MAF sensor.

What sensor sends the boost amount signal to the OBD2 port and factory gauge?
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

The map sensor i believe. Replace all your vacuum lines and connections.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Guess what I got now LOL, still can't figure out the real reason, but the fix I did after some research yielded me this!!!

Also I can feel the real change now between my stock PCM and the Overkill PCM.

Edit: also found out that the #21 fuse in the box under the hood keeps blowing, have no clue what that is about.

Check your wires to your maf sensor and where they run down by the rear manifold by the power steering res. I popped that fuse when I did my headers and got the wires pinched in there
