Need help - someone familiar with turbo setups
I put back my turbo (ASR stage 2), and something isn't right.
#1. I think the sound under boost has changed from what it was like before... and cause I have no clue what detonation sounds like I would like to have someone check it out.
#2. I have a "split second" timing controler.... not to sure what are the correct settings are.
#3. need accitance in tuning the fueling a bit.
nothing major, but my lack of knowladge makes me stress.
That's why i'm seeking HELP .

Hey Hey Hey,
I got my kit. it works (or ussed till i took it off and put it back on) and I got it installed by ASR without that much hassle (just 2 trips down to LA)
I say that makes it better then JC Sport's kit. which never came with all the parts.

Detonation sounds like a clicking/rattling. If you romp on it and it makes a weird sound, it is most likely detonation. I know that engine management is expensive but I would suggest getting it. You can get by without it, but with our high compression you need it. And in my case I gained about 35+ whp and the ability to run safely with the TEC2 kit. I used a J&S safeguard for a while, but it wouldn't cut it.

Detonation: Take a piece of metal and tap against the windshield - that is sort of what detonation sounds like.
My guess, due to my own poor installation proceedures, is that you have a leak. Probably an exhaust leak, but it could be a turbo leak.
Take it to a mechanic, like Doug at Diablo Imports and let him see.
I am pretty certain nothing you could do by removing reinstalling a turbo would cause Det, but leak, oh yeah, been there done that
.
Good Luck!

is this the place?
Are they familiar with aftermarket turbos and do they know impreza's?
ok. so it was a detonation, and yes, there could be a leak. sux. deffenately gotta take care of that.
Another interesting question - how to adjust a wastegate to open at higher RPMs?

This may just compound your detonation problem. Trust me when I tell ya. You WILL destroy that engine unless you get some sort of controll of the detonation. It's just a matter to time. If you have not upgraded to the parallel fuel rail mod yet, I would. Also, get a J&S Safegaurd at least. Perhaps someone here on the club could hook you up with one if they have it for sale. I hope you get a handle on it. Good luck...

it hasn't been a problem before. I'm sure I messed up on the re-install somewhere.
How much is it? I'm broke right now.
Q: O2 sensors - how often should those be replaced? do I replace both of them or just one? how to figure out if they are still ok or not?

Get a S-AFC at least and adjust your fuel. Just make your car run on the rich side until you can get some real tuning done. Also, adding a gallon of Toulene to your tank can help things as well. 91 octane just doesn't cut it for most cars running significant amount of boost.
