The Ultimate GReddy Turbo Kit Thread
#291
Yeah I have a SPIKING issue with my set-up and the problem is, I am set for 12 PSI it spiked to 13PSI right where my Fuel-Cutoff is, so when I race from a roll I always spike the car hesitates for a second due to thje Fuel cutoff then the spike comes back down and all is well, huge pain in the ass

Well to get my car home from the garade I did the install, I just plugged the E-manage in and drove it home. The only problem is that I have the AP2 kit on my AP1, and I have read something about converting the harness. Regardless, the clicking gets worse as the turbo spools up.

PLEASE LAY OFF THE GAS, the clicking gets worse a higher RPMS because there is more detonation, (if thats what it is). The AP1 is a slightly smaller motor then the Ap2, so the tune may be off by just enough to cause detonation..............
I was the same way and had to learn things the hard way, dont Boost until you get this figured out

Otherwise, I would suspect your boost controller. I'm not sure what kind you use but if you're using any sort of electronic boost controller, there is a pretty decent learning curve to getting the trims and duty cycles on the bleed valve correct.
The best aftermarket boost controller IMO is the AVC-r, and I've heard mixed reviews about the Greddy Profec II. I think the issues with the Greddy are related to set-up issues and smart mode really isn't that "smart."
With a quick-spooling turbo like the 18g, spiking is a much more prominent issue and needs to be managed with really good wastegate preload or spring selection, or a really good boost controller.

So I sold my J's kit a few days ago and I'm having trouble fitting my OEM AP1 bumper. It looks like I will have to shave the driver's side vent where people mount EK foglights. I really don't want to expose the intercooler piping in that vent. I've looked at the instructions and it only states to modify the front grill. I am not running any fenderliners and undercovers.
I've already made a tiny hole where the vent is from shaving it. Is this what I will have to do to make the OEM AP1 bumper clear the intercooler piping?
