Troubleshooting guide/FAQ
ProblemPossible causeSolution
Bike wont start after installTip over sensor disconnected~ Reconnect sensor
Fuel pump fuse blown Inspect or replace fuse
~ Inspect fuel pump wires                                                                
Base fuel pressure set wrong~ Adjust pressure to 38-42lbs
Main ECM fuse blown ~ Inspect or replace fuse
(Check orange/white wire for short to ground)                                                                                        
Fuel pump not getting fuel~ Check supply line for kinks
~ Check fuel level in tank
~ Check supply line for obstruction                                                                        
Return line to tank kinked~ Check return line for kinks
~Check return line for obstruction
Ignition kill device cutting ignition~ Inspect any ign. kill devise
~ Check for 12v on grey wires at coils                                                                                      
Bike runs very rich will not idleFactory map sensor not hooked up~ Check vacuum line for connection
~ Check vacuum line for cuts
~ Check one way check valve on map line
Base fuel pressure set to high~ Adjust fuel pressure to 38-42lbs
Injector(s) hanging open ~ Check injector wires or injectors
Bad map in secondary controller ~ Check the fuel map to see if the secondary injectors are firing below 100kpa. If so reload fuel                                                                     map
Bike backfires under boostMap line not hooked to controller~ Inspect Vacuum line for cuts or kinks
                                                                                    ~ Check for map line connection at controller and                                                                         throttle bodies
~ Check for any leaks in map line                                                                    to controller if any other items are on the same line as the controller                                                                                        (ex. Boost gauge,B.O.V.,ect)
Controller not seeing 12V signal~ Check wiring repair or replace
~ Check led on end of case it should                                                                                        light up if controller is recieving 12v signal
Fuel map to lean~ Check for proper AFR and remap accordingly
Sec. inj. wire not connected~ Check connectors on inj. if bad fix or replace
Controller is resetting~ Check all grounds clean and repair (controller will also reset if the power is cut or spikes on the 12v source wire)  
~ Ensure no ignition kill devices are placed on the 12v source wire to controller
Bike misfires under boostFouled plugs~ Replace with factory spec plugs
Spark plug gap set to wide~ Plug gap should be .018-.020
Ignition kill device defective~ Repair or replace
Fuel pump starving for fuel~ Check fuel level and supply line to pump for kinks
Bike runs good but doesn't pull hard under boostClutch slipping~ Check clutch for excessive wear                                                                                          on fibers or steels plates replace if found to be bad or out of spec
Clutch springs to weak~ Replace with stronger replacement springs
Air filter clogged ~ Clean filter or replace
FI light comes on while bike is runningFuel level sensor disconnected~ Check wiring to sensor
Check valve on factory map sensor bad ~ Inspect check valve for proper operation
Check ignition kill device~ Change to a known ignition kill box that wont cause this
Bike overheats after the installCooling system is air locked or low on coolant~ Check coolant level and burp cooling system
Cooling fan not working~ Check fan wiring and fuse
Head gasket blown or leaking~ Inspect and replace if found to be leaking
Bike builds to much boostWaste gate signal line kinked,cut,or loose~ Check signal line and replace or fix
Waste gate diaphragm bad~ Check with air supply for leaks
Waste gate valve sticking~ Check for valve movement with air supply
Turbo exhaust housing needs porting~ Have a trained professional port housing
Bike will not build boost under load
(CAUTION DO NOT RIDE BIKE IF IT WILL NOT BUILD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF BOOST TURBO DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM MAJOR BOOST LEAKS)
Watsegate seat missing or installed wrong ~ Check to see if installed in the proper direction or                                                        missing
~ Check for proper valve operation with air supply
~Check valve stem ,valve stem guide ,and seat for excessive carbon build up from overly rich condition
Boost leak at up pipe, plenum, or throttle bodies~ Check all clamps and hoses for cracks,cut(s) replace if                                                                                                             bad
Exhaust leak from loose or cracked header ~ Check all header bolts and gaskets or turbo
Check header for cracks or leaks
B.O.V not closing fully or "o"ring leaking~ Check for propers operation of B.O.V
~ Check "o"ring on B.O.V for cuts
~ Check vacuum/boost line for cuts or kinks
