OKay so my check engine light came on last night on the way to the arrowhead meet... and a few of the guys thought it was my downpipe and the cat so they hookd me up and gave me a fix... so i thought
on the way home it popd up again... so i took it in to autozone and the code i pulld was PO244 somethin with my turbo... any ideas?

PLz let me know

P0244 Wastegate control solenoid valve malfunction (high input)

its boost creep...im guessing you have a turboback exhaust and no tune? or need a better tune?

p0244=boost creep. get em like accessport this will hepl prevent boost creep. Boost creep is bad. Its when your watsegate is opening enough to bypass the correct amount of exhaust to control boost and it keeps building more boost. What happens is when you hit about 17-20 psi the car will hit fuel cut. this increase in boost can hurt your motor bad.

Yup Just Droped in a TBE... So Get a Tune ASAP?

i was thinkin About Gettin A Up pipe before i got the tune...
should i wait get the up pipe and the tune or just the tune...?

will it hurt me HP wise with the tune and not having the up pipe...
or what should i do...

my cars not my daily driver i only use it every so often but i drive it on the weekends...

ya you want an uppipe. your stock uppipe is catted. cat + hotter exhaust gases = teh blown turbo

cool ill try in find one asap... i got about 150 to blow untill the end of the month... how much u think an average tune... i talkd to the guys at FAT they said they would check it out for free.. and tell me what to do... how much u think on an average for an instal of a up pipe and a tune?

if not i gotta hit up travis...

I can retune your car for ya where that wont be a problem anymore just hit me up on Pm man :D

might as well just save money and gutt yours

DONT gut your own. If you dont get all of that cat out and you start your car and it jars loose, guess where it goes, YOUR RECENTLY BLOWN TURBO. buy an up-pipe. iirc i think surge has a used one. but if your in north phoenix surge is a drive and a half. and also if your in north phoenix Travis isn't that far. suck it up and have him tune it pronto. I think he has today and tomarrow off

Always tune for your mods. The exception is having Boost, AFR, and EGT gauges, and a knocklite, such that you can see that the car is still running properly.

^^^ EDITED^^^ If being the key word. I wouldn't take that chance.

gutting the up pipe is an option for sure, but as pointed out it comes with fine print - :D - drop the 190.00 or whatever and get a perrin up pipe (new bungless one) as far as install it will be another 2bills in labor unless you knock it out yourself - Seems like your next step (first step) would be to consult a tuner. get what you got running right before you add to the mix.


There is a writeup on how to gut the up pipe, pics and all - and a video of how to remove and install the up pipe - it even shows/tells you what tools you'll need at the very begining. Good luck

^^ word.. you should be able to tune for that downpipe and fget rid of that creep.. the uppipe can wait

yeah im talkin to travis... about what i should do next either a tune or get that effin uppipe....UPPIPE!

So IM on the Search!
