Ask Me, Virginia
I have gone from a s16g to an e316g. I haven't done so much as even touch the boost controller yet.

I took it for a spin and the new turbo builds boost just fine but:

1) It sounds completely different.

2) The car bucks and wants to die if I give it WOT in the lower gears. In 3rd gear and up, I don't experience this.

I wasn't aware that I'd have to adjust my MBC or my tune for such a small change.

I'll post some logs soon, but was wondering if that seems right. It seems like it is running richer after the turbo swap (as rich as 10.1:1). I'd figure that it would run more lean automatically after a swap.

Also, my Dodge Modded BOV seems to be making all of the noise now whereas before my External Wastegate would just drown all other noises out.

Thoughts?

Thanks
 
Thanks all...turned out to be fouled spark plugs with spark plug wires popping off...I certainly dont get it.
