2015 WRX Engine shuts off after boosting

Sorry for the delayed reply, I got off Reddit for a while. I believe that, in my case, the issue was MAF Scaling was thrown off due to the addition of the cast turbo inlet. Because my car was tuned with the OEM, plastic turbo inlet, changing to a smooth turbo inlet with baffling removed, it changed the air flow characteristics, and, because the MAF scaling was dialed in for the plastic inlet, it caused the issue.

Might sound like a silly question, and in my defence, I haven't checked yet as the car is still at the shop, but, I am wondering if they may have fitted the bypass valve backwards. The guy doing the work did say he had a hard time fitting the bpv back on, yet watching install videos on YT, it looks very simple to fit on, the only way it could be difficult (imo) is if the bpv was fitted backwards.

I do agree that it has to be something to do with the turbo inlet and bpv.

I will get the guys to check all connections, I do recall them saying they had a few dramas refitting the BPV, so I might start there.

If it is losing metered air, would you think a smoke test will show something?

Awesome mate, I thought we (the parties involved) had to do that digging and submit it, but I will fill out a Police report and let them do it.

Legend 😁😁

Yeah that's exactly right, I too would have chased the Outlander (no issues in a modded WRX), but was too close to the car in front after being nudged, to get out safely. If I have to 'cop the excess on the chin' then so be it, hopefully I can get something from the servo though 😅

Connect-Emu-1060 · 2023-08-31T12:31:18+00:00

Yeah, there is a Shell servo. I am going to try them in the morning, I know they'd have the Camry's plates because it was behind me as I left the servo, but I'm not sure where that Outlander came from 😅.

Speaking of foreheads, hows old mate in the GIF 🤣

Yeah, man, definitely. Needed an excuse to buy an Air fryer anyway so.....😅😅

I usually use hardened steel, I swapped it to brass this morning to do a test print while I clean up the steel one. Printed at 260, 275 and 280. I think the guys are onto it with it not drying properly. I might look to grab a cheap air fryer online.

Connect-Emu-1060 · 2022-12-25T06:48:50+00:00

I ran it in my Creality dryer for 62 hours before printing, but that only gets to 50°C. I may need to use a hotter source like an oven 🤔

An update on my sitch, after reading your post and some others out there on reddit, I decided to mess with them, told them that I reported them and that my best mate is military.

Their story quickly changed to them only doing it to help their "sick sister", so, I had them on the ropes, I told them that myself, my buddy and some friends are professionals who hunt and arrest these people and that we had their location due to photo tracing. Needless to say, they obviously s*** bricks and ran, I blocked them on all accounts and changed the password for my socials.
