Very very simple fix. Spent 3hrs messing with in. Checked all electrical Opened up the ecU. Anybody goT a guess on what the prOblem was?Was driving in the great town oF Daytona Beach when he blew off his hotpipe. Then his car wouldn't start back up.Guess it wASn't his day to go to HIN.

Currently we got the car unning. He has a major exhaust leak off the block-mani, turbo-downpipe, downpipe-catback. I hit 10lbs of boost on the XSpower turbo. Let off turned around and gunned it again, car bogged out. Limped it home for the mile or so. MAFS plug came off(he doesn't have a clip) So a quick wrap with electrical tape fixed that.. Tried again and the car is just bogging. Even free-revving in neutral car doesn't want to go to redline.I'm thinking either plugs fouled out or fuel filter clogged up.I'll post the 4pics of his car later. For some reaosn I can't figure out how to resize my pics on my camera. Newer program than what I had, and this one doens't let me resize....

That makes sense. Since given TP, MAF readings didn't make sense. It just ran rich like a constant atmospheric blowoff. But it acted like a MAF failure. Weird.

i thought he said he pressure tested the pipes to make sure there were no boost leaks? maybe im mixing up his issues with another peep. nontheless, good to hear that at least some progress is being made. im sure he breathed a sigh of relief. its so much easier to fix a problem when u know what it is.

Pull your plugs......Went the mafs came off I know for a fact they fouled out...... Might just need to clean them up. Replace your damn fuel filter as well. That thing is clogged up.

i did order the z32 fuel filter last night so it should be here whenever it comes in. obviously. as for new plugs. those are brand new, but i guess i can go get some more. haha. what's recommended for a KA-T? i have the NGK iridiums right now, but i'm being told i need the NGK coppers, and someone else told me bosch, but i hate bosch.

It's just your plugs fouling out then.1:Go get new plugs.2: Get new fuel filter (z32)3: Get a GODDAMN T for your vaccum line for your wastegate, don't run open wastegate no more. Tap it off your FPR line where everything else is.After you fix those 3 things, if it still does it, then you need to install the FPR to turn down your base fuel psi, that should cure it.Please put a damn vaccum on your wastegate.....
