Re: Truck won't build boost at launch. Thank you. I'll adjust it after work and see what happens.

Re: Truck won't build boost at launch. What would cause it to knock without any boost? Would it be false knock or something a little more serious on the inside of the motor?

Re: Truck won't build boost at launch. That may be the problem because I bought the truck with the forge already in it. The previous owner did the install.

Re: Truck won't build boost at launch. The hoses going from the wastegate to the solenoid back to the turbo?

Re: Truck won't build boost at launch. So the forge wastegate won't work with any boost solenoid? If that's the case I'll throw the stock one back on and see if it makes a difference.

If this isn't the correct place for this then please remove. I just replaced spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel pump, vacuum hoses, new electronic boost controller, and a forge wastegate with a 14 to 16 pound spring, turboetweak 3 bar chip. I sit at the line brakes to the floor and gas to...

Got the install finished up last night and it works flawlessly. Haven't hooked up the laptop yet to test the tuning software, I'm waiting to pick up the pocket logger which will allow me to record my runs without having the laptop plugged into the gauge the whole time.

Re: Msd fuel pump Yeah not a lot of people experiment with the inline pumps mostly because the in tank ones have proven to be more than capable of fueling the trucks at any power level. Not saying inline pumps don't work but its easier to drop the pump. Inline pumps overheat and if you were...

Re: Need some help here Update: I checked my fuel pressure and it reads 50 psi when the vacuum is plugged in. And I checked my map sensor while I was there and saw the vacuum hose going to it was pinched and I straightend the line out and now my truck feels much slower.

Re: Tach Flutter Re: Tach Flutter The only thing I got done was the pump and that changed a lot. Starting the truck was 100% easier and overall the truck ran better than ever. Cruising and beating on it felt better. Never got around to the cap and rotor because I couldn't decide if I should...

Re: Focus ST Im definitely gonna be doing the tune up and I haven't been able to test my launching out a whole lot, since I've been having issues with the truck and not wanting to push it too much at the moment, but it seems I can't get the wheels to hold over 1 pound before they start...

Re: Tach Flutter Re: Tach Flutter No big jumps on the tach like you're describing but the wires are bad. The number 2 plug wire is swollen pretty bad and looks terrible. So wires and cap is next. Disconnecting the boost controller helped a lot. Runs a lot smoother when I'm in the boost. This...

Re: Need some help here Made some progress. Bypassed the AEM Tru boost and let the wastegate have complete control. Took it out and tested it and was slower to do lower boost but it pulled all the way through 1st to 2nd with no cutting out or hesitations at all. Spiked at 18 and settled at 14.

Re: Need some help here I'll be sure to check all that. I've been covering the basic tuneup since I got the transmission in and working.

Re: Need some help here That's would be amazing but I don't get paid till Monday. That's a screaming deal though. When I get paid, if it's still available, I would love to make that deal.
