access port v.1 trouble.. Help!

wrex19 · 03-07-2010, 06:36 PM

I am having a problem with the tune of my car. I put on an HKS intake, HKS bov and Hi power cat back. I also put on an invidia catless dp and an STi intercooler. I used the v.1 to tune my car today and put it on stage two, i figures with all the mods it would be best plus I read some posts that said the same. The car doesn't seem to run the same, there is a little smoke that comes through the air vents, and when i looked at the boost gauge it came up as 14.5 at full boost. I have a stock turbo so my questions are is that safe on my turbo?, and is the smoke burn off from the dp/intercooler install yesterday or should i go get it checked out? please help if you can

I don't think this has anything to do with the AP? Regarding the smoke/smell, it's because your running CATLESS! Did you use WD40 on the downpipe install? That could be the reason you're seeing smoke. You're not hitting target boost either because of the BOV and intake. I would put the stock intake box and bypass valve back on and give the ECU some time to learn.

Ya we used some wd-40. i hope that is it but im not sure. So I dont have any cats now? shoot I thought I still had one cat in the mid section. My turbo runs 12 normally from the factory, 14.5 isn't too much?? I dont want to blow it up.
