mikeyb10supra Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 It's not neccessarily dead Reset the ECU first. Take the plugs out before trying it again....just to check them over/clean them up. Get a compression tester too... Fingers crossed for you. As alex has set.....take a look at the plugs as they could beheavily fouled, reset ECU, check everything is in order in the bay and have another try, fingers crossed for you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Sorry to hear this mate, worst bloody nightmare!!! Sorry for sounding stoopid (turbo newbie talking) but what is/are tps and fpr? And where can I find them so that I can check their health? Reading this thread has got me all twitchy!! FPR - Fuel Presure Regulator Title says it all really, but its where people tend to plumb in boost gauges and boost controller source feeds as recommended by some of the manufacturers. TPS - I think is throtle position sensor?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Feeding the boost gauge out of the FPR is a bad idea, I've had mine pop off at some stage and got a big fright. Saw 16:1 at 1 bar for a few seconds, scary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
