So I bought a complete T3/T4 turbo set of a fellow Dutchman. After driving around with the 15G for years I thought it was time to upgrade.
The set consists of a T3/T4 turbo, Green Giants, 012 AMM, custom 7200 rpm chips, wasted spark, AFPR, big Iveco IC and a screamer pipe.
The previous owner ran the turbo at 24 PSI, causing the stock rods to bent of his '98 estate.
Together with a friend we started installing everything and doing some major maintenance at the same time.
After 2,5 day we started the car and it ran pig rich, very rough and stalled after an x amount of time...
It took us another 2,5 day to find out the 012 AMM was the cause. After reinstalling the old 016 AMM the car ran fine. The strange thing was that I had two 012 AMM's (one I bought about a year ago as these are pretty rare), with both AMM's the engine ran terrible. Conclusion: both (second hand) 012's were bad.
So I ordered a brand new 012 AMM. It arrived today and I installed it. Guess what: exactly the same symptons as the other 012's....
The chips I have are custom written especially for the Green Giants and 012 AMM according to the previous owner. The only difference he had in his setup was that he had it installed in the cold side IC piping while I have it in front of the turbo.
BTW: I don't have the big Iveco IC installed just yet as it needs some custom work.
Could anybody explain to me why this setup does not work in my car? I'm out of ideas….
