The problem was it wasnt idling, it would just keep shutting off but all is fixed and they got it tuned and we'll see Friday or Monday.

I think I would've been too embarrassed to open the thread, let alone come back 6 months later and post in it...

Gauge

dat true... no disrespect intended... the anonymity of "the club" does have its benefits.

Gauge

Runs pretty good, idles a bit rough at times(rarely), AFR isnt perfect but its around 11.5-12.2.

is that a dyno you just recently did? glad its working good for you

Gauge

Its from last Monday.

nice, dyno sheet please!

Gauge

I dont have a dyno sheet, they included the numbers on my receipt lol...I can put that up but since I dont have a scanner Id have to take a pic of the sheet lol

Actually I will try that because it lists all the problems they had with my car lol...give me untill tommorow, Im at work right now.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

go back and get the dyno - they owe you that ......

Gauge

A little over a two hour drive lol

I think I may yank the kit off in a couple months. I know it sounds crazy but something isnt right. They said they couldnt get me over 7psi due to not enough fuel delivery and I'd need a regulator and another fuel pump..I'll upload the sheet later that tells all. Anyways I dont want something thats going to yank my engine apart if theres more hidden flaws that I dont know about. I think I may go with Pettit, which isnt far from my house and considering they'd be the ones installing it, Id feel pretty confident. Its crazy and when I tell my friends they may shoot me...lol If I do yank it out I'll try and see what I can get out of it here but I bet you thats what Im going to do. The Pettit II CS kit looks to be in my neighborhood, and at 300hp thats exacly what Im pretty much looking for. The esmeril is a great kit Im sure, its just mine just wasnt installed right from the get go and the shop that tuned it could tell ya that. Anyways its late..lol and I feel like I have ocd when it comes to cars...lol

Oh boy.

You should probably just go back to N/A.

laythor

this thread makes me laugh

Gauge

We'll see Im just sick and tired of cars at the moment. Never seen someone have so much damn trouble as Ive had with this thang lol

Yes laythor funny untill it happens to you lol

If only money grew on trees...

laythor

since i would never buy a turbo and just it to someone else to install, it wont.

i am sorry you've had this happen, but there are lots of ways to ensure it doesn't happen in the first place.

If it was my car, i'd stick with what you have while reading up on ways to fix what's wrong. You can leave a turbo on the car and never go into boost...

Nothing "happens" to anyone.
All things are the result of a progression. Whether it was by your own instigation or not, in the end you are responsible for your own outcomes.

That said, suggesting that migrating from a shoddy turbo install over to a known problematic supercharger system is not a sensible suggestion.
The system is not your failure, only its implementation (no matter who you designated to perform the work).
You will just be jumping from one frying pan into another and eventually the fire itself.

Gauge

Im not even going to bother to fix whats wrong, all that was worked on for 4 months, all together the car was in the shop(s)7 months. Ive been thinking about going stock again and buying a 02' Trans AM, and just keep my dd the way it was meant to be. But as I said we'll see and Ill keep searching. The car runs, I drive it and it does pretty good but like I stated something is wrong somewhere with the boost not being able to hit 12psi without shutting off.They said another fuel pump, regulator..etc. Ive seen people with the kit run 14 & 16psi so...The finally put in a 7lb spring in the wg and kept it at 7psi. When I get the time Ill upload my receipt to show all theyve done, I was going to do it but my 3rd battery died...so I had to take care of that before coming into work. But I feel just like starting over sometimes...uhwell we'll see. My cash and stupidity.

If it runs ok as is what is your problem ?
By the sounds of it the last thing you should do is try making more power.

Gauge

Well I pretty much just made up my mind, Im going to put the 8 back stock and leave it and buy something else a bit older and cheaper to play around with. I would like to get a Trans AM WS6 or a cobra and just play with those....who knows though...down the road I might have a change or heart...lol...Im an addict...to cars and speed....thanks to my dad lol...
