I wish I could find the guy I got this kit from and see how he plans on resolving this situation. Sucks that I spent about $200 getting the turbo ceramic coated, and polished, just to have it installed and THEN find out the turbo was junk. Now I have to clean the underside of my car where oil blew all over it....On top of already pulling the turbo, sending it out to turbochargers.com only to find out that it was unrepairable.

 

They have T518Z turbine housings for sale on Ebay.

 

Question. Does anyone know why my car might be doing this. It use to do it before the greddy kit as well. When you go WOT sometimes it feels like it instantly hits a wall, kind of like someone just attatched the moon to my tow hook, the car stops pulling hard and after a second or two will go back to pulling normal. I have changed the plugs but since i'm boosted now I'm going to change them again. Any other reasons this might happen?!

 

Map sensor issue. Search map sensor whack

 

Trust me, I've hit my Map sensor with various tools and followed the recommended fix and beat it harder then Chris Brown would of. It still does it from time to time, but if its definately that should I just replace it? Pretty sure its the original one with 100k on it. Any idea how much a new one runs?

 

An oem sensor can be found for as little as $70 a 3 bar is around $100. I would spend the extra cash and go for a 3 bar if I were you.

 

Car is never going to see more then 10lbs on greddy kit, stock should work fine up to 15 correct!?

Thank you Joe and JB for the anwsers.

 

1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch. Better safe than sorry tho

 

Thought it was 14.7? Map sensor on the S2k and RSX seems to be the same, if thats the case it helps up fine on my RSX @ 11lbs on a jackson blower. Trust me It wont see over 10lbs...I can't afford to build the engine haha.

 

would maybe just getting a greddy pressure sensor resolve this problem. Im not sure if it would help because the sensor plugs into the emanage and only tricks the car into reading boost. Not sure if this will help the stock map tho. Maybe someone could give some confrimation on this
