#103977, "Questions about new turbo install"




          

Figured I try asking questions in the right section. I have a brand new engine with a brand new turbo system, portfueler, etc.

I'm in the process of breaking in the engine. My questions are these:

I have not ceramic coated the downpipe but I have the majority of it heat wrapped. I heats everything up extremely quick. I have the aluminum visteon radiator and that gets so hot I can't even touch it just after a couple minutes of driving. (I've only put a few miles on the car so far. Is this normal or cause for concern?

Also, my A/F ratio jumps up into the 20's under hard acceleration right before I hit boost. For the most part it has been keeping right around 15. The Fuel pressure is set at 50psi. Is the portfueler not doing its job? I'm not exactly sure where to start in tuning this thing. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Other than that everything seems to be going alright. I pulled the spark plugs and those look alright. It idles smoothly and doesn't stutter. Thanks in advance guys.
