My car "coughs" at idle sometimes
 

Ive been turbo'd for a couple of weeks now. Love it. Sometimes when I'm sitting at a light at idle or cruising at light throttle, the car seems to cough or hiccup or fart through the exhaust. I dont know how to explain it. It's rare and I just want to make sure that it's not dangerous after hearing all this detonation mumbo jumbo. What does that sound like. The car runs great when I'm getting on it. Thanks

MINE does that i wouldn't worry about iy my tuner says its cool but before i did it bad (misfire sounded LIKE a sti :D) and it was the coil pack that was bad

i got bogging sometimes at low rpms. i can't seem to pinpoint the gear I'm in and rpm range it happens, except for when I'm in 6th gear and am goign about 50 mph (yes, too lazy to downshift sometimes, hahah).

I think it might be that I am running rich? I dunno, maybe it's spitting out the extra fuel. Kinda sounds cool sometimes like a gurgle.

mine ain't cool...the car lunges like I dont' know how to drive...i have to clutch in, rev it up, and go...kind of annoying. it never did it pre-turbo.

just another little turbo "glitch"... even factory turbocharged cars with aftermarket turbo upgrades makes similar "noises" like that... unless there is a notice in performance, oil pressure, boost spikes, etc. you should be fine

You need more tuning, what are you suing for EMS?

Emanage. I see you've been in my other thread, hopefully, they can work out those kinks...

Autologic is a good shop, I'm sure they'll take care of you. I usually go to SGP but they're 5 minutes away...

someone needs to trim the fuel at idle/low rpm. get a good tuner
