I have this problem with acceleration, when I accelerate hard, the
power seems to almost pulse, like the turbo is kicking in and out, I
have replaced all the obviouse stuff..plugs, wires, filter,..ect.

I'm almost positive that we've narrowed this down to a faulty boost
control solenoid. The possible solution is to 1) buy a new or used
one or 2) buy a manual boost controller.
The MBC will do a much better job, and let you turn the boost up as
well, making for a faster car.

Of course!!! You need to set the proper boost!!! An easy way to tap the gauge is on the intake manifold...good reading and easy acces in the engine bay...
Good Luck!

You can get quite a bit but the problem is when you get above about 15
lbs the discharge temp goes through the roof and detonation is
certain. I am running 15 lbs with a cold air intake and water to air
intercooler and I think I am probably close to the practical limit.

Not that Sam is incorrect 
Here's a little more in depth definition.
Detonation is a cause of pre-ignition. In a high boost turbo case, what happens is the air intake charge pressures become too high and too hot, and as the cylinder is compressing the air.....it ignites before it's supposed to.
If your spark plug is supposed to fire 20 degrees before top dead center to ignite the mix, and the intake charge is too hot and too much pressure before that, the mix will ignite by itself....without the spark plug....hence pre-ignition.
As a result of pre-ignition, you have an explosion that is going against what the rest of the engine is doing....and it's normal rotation.......and you get detonation......and as Sam put it.....BOOM.....and you could also get a thud and smash as well......

Thanks Josh,
Is this normally a catastrophic problem creating massive oil slicks and holes in the block? Or is it a backfire type situation?
I guess the question is: is there any warning or do you only get one detonation per engine rebuild?
Thanks again,
Carl

Hi Carl, Josh may have given up on us this evenimg. The term
detonation covers several things and they are also called ping, knock
ect. and it can happen for different reasons a small bit of burning
carbon left from a previous burn sometimes will just cause a small
preignition or backfire and probably do no harm a preignition from a
hot charge or high boost can cause damage at times, usually to a
piston and the last is when the charge is ignited just from heat and
pressure and the plug also ignites the top part of the charge and the
two flame fronts from top and bottom collide, this is the worst one
and can cause very high pressures in the chamber and can cause some
damage. But fortunatly most of the time our knock sensors can detect
this and retard the timing and protect the engine before things get
out of hand and this type of damage s fairly rare.

Hi Carl, Josh may have given up on us this evenimg. The term
detonation covers several things and they are also called ping, knock
ect. and it can happen for different reasons a small bit of burning
carbon left from a previous burn sometimes will just cause a small
preignition or backfire and probably do no harm a preignition from a
hot charge or high boost can cause damage at times, usually to a
piston and the last is when the charge is ignited just from heat and
pressure and the plug also ignites the top part of the charge and the
two flame fronts from top and bottom collide, this is the worst one
and can cause very high pressures in the chamber and can cause some
damage. But fortunatly most of the time our knock sensors can detect
this and retard the timing and protect the engine before things get
out of hand and this type of damage s fairly rare.

With most turbos you know you've reached the effective maximum pressure when
further boost is just heat expansion of the air. That's why you can get
better performance from an upgraded turbo, at the same boost. (Assuming
boost levels higher than standard).. because then the boost is genuine
airflow, not just extremely hot air which you're fighting to cool down with
the intercooler.

Unfortunately, the knock sensors don't operate at higher RPM, like over
4000rpm or so.. Which is also where you're most likely to be seeing
detonation from high boost, i'd expect.
One ping isn't going to destroy your engine, but it doesn't take many to
wreck it. And they tend to happen all at once when you're experimenting with
high boost.
I've seen a friend blow a motor in about 1500 metres with too much boost,
due to the high temperature of the intake charge more than anything else.
The car went really fast for a kilometer or so though first!
The other problem with high boost on the stock turbo which no-one else is
mentioning, is that you can develop huge amounts of backpressure between the
engine head's outlets and the turbo. This can stop the cylinders from being
scavenged properly, so there's still hot exhaust gasses in them when the
next intake cycle starts! Also, if you've reached this point then your
engine's primary power is effectively driving the turbo, rather than the
exhaust gas temp.. This hugely reduces the efficiency of the whole
combination.

4000rpm or so.. Which is also where you're most likely to be seeing
detonation from high boost, i'd expect.
One ping isn't going to destroy your engine, but it doesn't take many to
wreck it. And they tend to happen all at once when you're experimenting with
high boost.
I've seen a friend blow a motor in about 1500 metres with too much boost,
due to the high temperature of the intake charge more than anything else.
The car went really fast for a kilometer or so though first!
The other problem with high boost on the stock turbo which no-one else is
mentioning, is that you can develop huge amounts of backpressure between the
engine head's outlets and the turbo. This can stop the cylinders from being
scavenged properly, so there's still hot exhaust gasses in them when the
next intake cycle starts! Also, if you've reached this point then your

I have noticed that about the knock sensors the same thing seems to
plague all engines because I have seen test results on DSM and a few
others. One thing that is happening at about 5000 rpm it that the
frequency of the engine is close to that of a knock and that
unfortunatly is what the knock sensor is designed to pick up so it is
rather useless. The best thing is to be careful when raising boost
above stock limits and then watch the fuel supply and engine
maintenance. I have been running 15 lbs boost on a EJ22t for some time
with a water to air intercooler and a cold air intake and am fitting a
TD05 turbo before going much higher.
