99% complete 244 Plus T...Help please!
Good Evening-
First off, I wanted to thank you for the informative write up on adding turbo induction to a redblock. I have converted my 1987 244 to a turbo setup, albeit not quite successfully. I switched to a ezk setup, new harness and all. After ruling out everything (I think) the car will start, but it is not happy. I am beginning to think the 'turbo' ezk ICU I acquired may not be a turbo ICU (or even LH 2.2 compatible).
afterall. The unit I have is: 0 261 201 012 Does this sound right? The only Bosch part number I can find referenced for LH 2.2 and turbo is: 0 261 201 012. Unfortunately, I can't find one for sale to save my life.
The car starts, but idles super rough, and stumbles when I open the throttle.
I only have a downpipe running down and out the side of the car until I can get a real exhaust welded up. Would the lack of backpressure be causing me any grief?
The only other outstanding item is a plumb-back blow off valve (I don't have a stock overboost switch).
I sincerely apologize for the out of the blue cry for help, but I figured it's worth a shot asking.
Thanks,
Wes Powers
