I've just fitted a T28 to my ca18det, it runs lovely on tick over but when I pull away there is no power it's like trying to pull away in third gear. I've run the diagnostics on the ECU which say's everything is normal. Anyone got any ideas?

big boost leak

That's what I thought but can't work out from where

check the actuater,actuator pipe and the wategate

It sounds like the wastegate may be open constantly

Few possibilities...

Boost leak, poor afm signal (electonically or leak on the vacuum side of turbo), fekked pressure regulator or maybe fuel hoses round wrong way

if i pull the air flow meter plug off, the car will still idle as normal, but will not pull away, this sounds just like your prob.

have you made sure all connections esp the AFM one are on properly.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll see if I can get it sorted today.

have you run it successfully without this problem before you did the turbo?

If not it could be cam or ignition timing.
