trouble after fitting new turbo
 
hi all. just fitted injectors, spark plugs, sti top mount and a vf43 turbo to my 2001 bug wrx. starts great, ticks over perfect. I drove down the road just to warm so could do an oil change. once was warm I went to let the boost just cut in but the car judders and wont boost rite. I checked everything again but seems good. the only thing I could think of is the pipes going to turbo from 3 port. the turbo had a pipe from actuator and from housing t pieced. I took this off and put from 3 port like was on my td04. is that where the problem is ? has anyone else had this problem? cheers in advance for your help.

Have you mapped it for those mods?

what you reckon???

hi, its mapped for td04 and other mods. would that be why it wont spool? I don't know, I have never been in this situation. dunce is mapping it 2morrow again for what I have put on, I thought that the car would just run lean or whatever before the map? cheers

:D knew you would be here sooner or later :lol1:

I'm guessing no :brickwall

its a mapping issue, I wouldn't drive it until duncs mapped it and it will be fine then.
you have changed loads of parts so the ecu has shat itself

Happy days if its being mapped tomorrow :D

All your problems no doubt will disappear once fettled with :thumb:

wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else that someone had done before. other wise if I let Duncan come out would be a wasted journey. if its just cos needs mapping then its good, otherwise I need to sort something else.

That will be the last of your worries mate, Its got a turbo and injectors fitted that the ECU doesnt know how to control at the moment if its not mapped:thumb:
