Vl turbo running like shit

[VL_5SPEED]

Hey guys. Gave my car a bootfull yesterday and now its running like ****. It has no power (still spools etc), has a real bad shutter, it sounds like a subaru with an exhaust... In general it runs really really rough. I was thinking head gasket but it did not get hot or overheat during peak hour traffic today and threre is no oil in the radiator. I also disconnected thebattery to reset the ecu (stock n/a) but that didnt help.

Maybe the cat colapsed blocking exhaust gases?

doesnt sound healthy.

when my gasket blew it didnt overheat just ran realy rough and was hard to start.what it did was push the gasket out around the cylinder
same when a couple of my pistons broke on an old old old setup a few yrs ago

run your car is there fumes venting from catch can or where you fill oil up?like venting heeps?

I will check the oil cap tomorrow. It was a thick steel gasket what was used surely that cant break on a measly 6psi?

i had a copper gasket it distorted one of the cylinder holes into an oval id sey from pingin.

just check simple things first and go from there

might have got lucky and just melted an earth strap off a plug even

Taking the lead off cylinder 4 makes no difference... Anyone know of an easy way of removing the spark plug on cylinder 4? It looks like a #### to get out.

[nasty1]

from memory use either 2 bendy sockets or one bendy socket with an extension i think

Igot it off but no good... The electrode had a piece of metal welded on it so somethings gone wrong. Anyways i snapped the bit of welded metal off and put the plug back in and its running fine. So not cool.

new leads and plugs ftw.

hmmm ping??
must have leaned out if u got melted/overheated plug.
if changing the plug does not fix it i would look at something more drastic

[delcowizzid]

its detonated itself to close on death retard the dizzy 2-4 degrees or turn boost down and dont thrash it was probably a peice of melted piston or head stuck on the plug count yourself maybe very lucky this time LOL

Lol yepp no more thrashing. Time to put the turbo gearbox in and turbo injectors and sell it.
