ratedZ Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hey guys...well I finally replaced my turbo. It's a rebuilt unit. It seemed to work well while I was testing it but when I drove it on the freeway on my way to work she started to buck and hesitate while coasting. When I give it gas it would start to buck if I accelerate slowly...but if I boost it, she would wake back up and it would start pulling with no hesitation. The only other thing I did was clean out my intake...also, there where some cracks on the hose that goes from the U pipe to the turbo. I haven't had the chance to get a new one yet so we taped it as I needed the car to get to work today. Could this be the problem? I also noticed that she won't hold boost...it would hit 14psi and go back down to 10psi. But that's a whole nother problem and I almost positive that the bad hose is the culprit. Anyway, any suggestions on the hesitation issue? This is the first time my Z did this so something must have happened in the turbo replacement. Thanks for the help!

Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Sounds like you have got an air leak somewhere. The system has to be perfectly sealed to work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratedZ Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Thanks Shane...she's ok now. I was greeted with 16psi this morning and it stayed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
