    VL turbo idles perfect, but splutters, coughs, backfires under any acceleration

    Just changed my malpasi fuel reg back to my standard one and it actually runs/drives now! But still pings/misses when hitting boost so i guess the pinging/missing would be my timing but the main prob was the fuel reg!

    Running Rich..?

    Custom painted, Manual VL Calais Turbo

    Its actually a vl turbo, just with an na engine in it, therefore brakes, drivetrain, badging dct is all turbo stuff. Interior pics by the end of the week i promise lol

    Running Rich..?

    Ill check the headers tonight after work, but im fairly certain he did an engine swap and put the NA engine in rather than just removing the turbo. I suppose he could have left the old ECU, i mean he did not bother putting the heater or air con back in at all haha

    Running Rich..?

    It is fuel injected, and i THINK he put an NA engine in, rather than removing the turbo from the existing engine. I really need to obtain more details when purchasing cars haha. Well ive withheld the last bit of the payment untill he gets a few things that he promised so next meet up ill get...

    Running Rich..?

    Well yea it gets pretty strong, and there is a fairly noticable leak/hole in the exhaust up near the headers which is causing some problems (im hoping thats the cause, if its not i wont be happy haha). Once i pay rego ill patch it up and go from there i guess. Thankyou, i cant wait for CFC this...
