boost all over the shop

this is pissing me off, days it seems to be fine.

 

others like today the boosting of the car seems to be all over the shop.

 

once i boot it, the boost comes on, then stops, comes on, stops, comes on etc.

 

makes ure head go back and forward. lol

 

sometimes it feels like boost delay,

 

what is likely to be the problem.

 

i just want my car to be on the button every time

 

taa lads:(

How is your boost controlled?

Do you have an FCD?

Do you have cats?

Do you have a restrictor?

Which plugs are you using?

What are they gapped to?

Have you tested your EGCV?

Does the second turbo fail to come in or come in late?

mine sometimes does this in 6th gear between 2,000 - 4,000 rpm. the boost gently bounces up and down between 0.6 - 0.8 bar but once the 2nd tubbie kicks in its fine (mind you i very rarely get to 4k rpm in 6th !!!)

 

and very occationally if i drop down a few cogs on the gearbox and raise the rpm above 4,000 rpm the 2nd tubbie sometime doesn't kick in especially 1st and 2nd gear.

 

are they similar problems to yours ?

i mean like the boost seems to be delayed sometimes,

 

and when it comes on, its not smooth, its jerky and by boost on off, i mean from when in second gear and giving it some beans it from booting it upto 7,000rpm and chaging gear to 3rd,

 

the boost very sharply and quickly is on and off, i.e you feel the turbo kick in, then stop, kick in all the way up to changing to 3rd gear

Got to be VSV surley.

 

possible. My car use to do this when my plugs were shot. every time I booted - boost would build -I would then have a miss fire- causing the boost pressure to drop. then the boost would build- miss fire- boost back down again. Changed plugs which sorted

still getting boost stutter, but id like to add boosting in first is pathetic..

 

feels more like a N/A in first.

 

anyways, its booked in at toyoda-tech on monday, having fuel filter, oil filter, diff/engine/gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid, spark plugs changed

 

basically a B service i think.

 

should i ask them to check anything?, i.e the problems im having.
