944 Turbo with Boost enhancer and stage2 chips


Recommended Posts

ok im new to this one and i have a question that i hope someone can help me with. i have an 88 944 turbo with 92,000 miles. the car came with autothority stage 2 chips and the small oriface that went in the banjo bolt... very quick, but decided to install a lindsey racing boost enhancer in which i was told to remove the oriface in the banjo bolt so i didnt have to worry about over boosting. so i left the chips in the car and installed the boost enhancer on stock settings. ALOT faster, but i notice that when i jump on it hard through a few gears for the first few seconds there is smoke coming out the exhaust...

is this due to the fact the power curve has been changed?

any ideas and is this possibly normal when these cars take off like a scalded dog

Thank you very much

Jeff

Sorry man, I really don't know the answer to your question. But are you in the Alexandria area a lot? I have taken my car to Minh once: Pitstop in Alexandria, (they bought out Autothority)

I have been using this one mechanic in Fairfax, VA for just major jobs (timing belt, rollers, etc) Autobahn Services: Jose, real honest guy.

I am going to be working on my 87 944 turbo soon, im getting my license back.

I work out in Sterling and stay in fairfax. Do you do a lot of DIY with ur ride?
