First Day OF K03s And Im In Limp Mode HELP!!!

[__B3NNY__]

So i picked her up this morning after having the K03s fitted everything was perfect and well chuffed with it! Coming home tonight and sat at a empty set of traffic lights with a open bypass in front of me so i gave it abit of a booting to see what the k03s could do pulled threw the gears up to about 125mph (not a private track and hang my head in shame) all of a sudden it kicks back and i lose power mange to get off the bypass on to a country lane popped the bonnet hoping the intercooler pipe had poped off like it had currently but id put a jubeliee clip on that before hand and that was fine. The car drives fine but just wont boost over 4/5 psi, i can hear what seems to sound like the turbo spooling but sounds louder and more like a loud hissing sound, got her back on the drive now hoping that mybe the bottom end of the tip had poped off but that seems secure , Im hoping to get it on vag com in the morning with a mates laptop and also get under the car and see if anything has popped off that i can see. But just wondered if anybody has any clue what i could check or could be as i wont have access to vag com until around lunch time. A real bummer as i was loving the new k03s!

Cheers in advance David.

sounds like a boost leak to me!

Has it been mapped before? and now you have fitted the k03s have u had it mapped again, i read a post on here where someone who had a remapped ibiza fitted a k03s and it was slower and not running right until it was mapped to suit the turbo?

Mappings fine im running revo stg2 and it was fine for the 9 hours previous

Surly just a 'leak' wouldnt send it into limp mode? It felt like somthing poped off when it kicked back but i cant be sure of that.

Just got in from a 'early' (7.30am) test drive when i put my foot down it certinatly sounds like a hissing/sucking sound just as it approchs 4/5psi and wont boost any further, Ive been under the car this morning and cat see anything poped off (not that i really know what im looking for anyway) Intercooler pipes are all nice and secure along with the tip to the turbo

Think i got a little bit worried to quick and posted, just had a better look over the engine bay and discoverd the charge pipe had popped off of the turbo it was barly noticable and was just lodged on to, so poped it back in secured the jubilee clip at the bottom and put the spring clip back on, even though later today i will be getting a jubilee clip on there , and all is sorted again Cheers for your replys though.

thank god for that!

David.
