    Turbo Woes

    I am attempting to REVIVE this thread from THE DEAD. Life has thrown me multiple curve balls throughout the past few months and the car was basically forgotten about. BUT, my twin brother is getting married in November and has DROPPED THE BOMB that he would like to drive off in the stang IF...

    Turbo Woes

    I wish, been swamped with work and being out of town every weekend. My goal is to datalog this week and see if I can seal the MAP/IAT sensor better. Unfortunately I don't have an air compressor to pressurize the intake. If that doesn't fix anything I'm heavily considering taking it back to...

    Turbo Woes

    It's been a great car the whole time I've owned it (5+ years). Once these few small gremlins are figured out it will be great again. Should have never touched it, I admitted that a year ago. Very expensive learning experience.

    Turbo Woes

    The IAT2/MAP is mounted on the upper intake right by the IAC sensor. The hole was already drilled. I'm thinking there could definitely be a vacuum leak there as the mounting location doesn't look like the map sensor is sitting as flush as I would like (was already drilled when I got it).

    Juiced, Yes, car was running perfect before I started the swap. Bought the kit off a member here. Supposed to have a Hellion cold side and a custom hot side. I also traded the timing chain cover, pulleys, alternator, necessary cooling lines, UPR K member, coil overs, 01 cobra upper and lower...

    Turbo Woes

    Thank you for reading through the whole thread again and providing input, much appreciated. 1. I believed the MAP sensor was bad because of the subtle (before the 12PSI pull) rough idle and missing throughout the RPM range. Additionally, while researching the codes it somehow (it's been a...

    This is extremely intriguing, you think that's the bases for all my problems (Codes, lean/rough idle)? At this point I think it's worth the gamble to try it. Thanks for your input, it is VERY appreciated.

    I took it off and went to Advanced Auto and had it bench tested.

    Turbo Woes

    Update: I replaced the MAP with a new sensor and nothing has changed. Ever since the above mentioned 12PSI pull the car now idles rough on start with the A/F gauge pegged lean. The throttle is extra responsive (as if it has higher compression) and the A/F drops richer when I burp the throttle...

    I'm in the process of getting Grundy right now. For those who have it, did you have to do anything besides the online process to get your coverage?

    Turbo Woes

    Well, not sure what I did but I looked a few things over and took it for a spin to datalog this weekend. Made two quick small pulls near the house trying to get it to shut itself down and couldn't get it to do it. First pull I only ran it to 4300 RPM in second gear, second run (didn't datalog) I...

    Did some digging and found this thread from the previous owner. https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/my-terminator-just-went-nuts-need-help.735033/ Think I'm going to look over the fuse boxes this weekend.

    Care to elaborate? I am retarded when it comes to electrical problems (such as this).

    Turbo Woes

    Now that I've recreated the problem a few times I have noticed the following regarding the actual shut down: 1. The colder the car is, the longer it makes it/harder I have to push it to shut down (about 75% throttle, shut down around 4k rpm when it starts to see boost). 2. The warmer the car...

    Turbo Woes

    Initially I thought it was the tune. Took it to my tuner (very well known and knowledgeable) and discovered it wasn't the tune, which led to the possible thought of a short in the ECU. Also checked the crank sensor while it was at the tuners. If I try to load the factory tune when the car is...

    Turbo Woes

    Yes, it's incredibly annoying chasing a problem like this down. What's crazy is this problem didn't happen before I replaced the turbo and all I did was change the turbo, didn't mess with anything else. The MAF is literally brand new (SCT BA5000). I'm pretty certain the IAT2 sensor is bad on top...

    Turbo Woes

    After it goes into "Limp" mode and I turn the car to the ACC position to let the fuel pumps run the gauge at the regulator shows 40psi as it should. I have watched the fuel pressure while someone was trying to start it and the fuel pressure stayed at a good PSI. I did have clearance issues when...

    Turbo Woes

    Plugs look fine, I pulled them all and did a compression test. Coolant temp looks fine via the gauge (we know how good the stock gauges are). I will run the car a bit this weekend and datalog the coolant temp. I think it will be fine though.

    Turbo Woes

    Fuel is Lethal Budget Return setup with Walboro 465s. It's throwing codes for 02 sensors and the IAT II sensor (going to order a new one today). I haven't had the opportunity to check the codes after the car shuts down (have been reloading the tune to get it to start). I need to make it shutdown...

    Hello all, I've been doing a turbo build on my cobra for quite some time now. Unfortunately problems keep popping up (stupidity of purchasing a used kit). Now I have a problem I haven't encountered before and was hoping some Cobra gurus on here may be able to shed some light. After replacing...

    What turbo does everyone run?

    Hey everyone, I made the mistake of buying a used turbo (turbonetics GTK1000 76mm, .96AR, ball bearing) and realized after the fact that the turbo was bad. I'm very new to the turbo world and didn't know what I was looking at at the time. I sent the turbo off to Boost lab and they quoted me...

    Anyone know where to find this bumper exhaust piece?

    I snagged this photo from a member on here and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a similar piece to use for my exhaust. I've found some trim rings but nothing quite like this. Any input would be appreciated. I had to attach a small image because photobucket wasn't working for some...
