boost problems

Postby MIVEC95 » August 25th, 2009, 9:00 pm

i have a stock turbo , internal wastegate, i changed the intake to the turbo and did over a piece of the intercooler piping , when i'm driving on any gear , as soon as i pass 5000 rpm the boost rises together with the rpm , i have it set at 10psi , by the time i hit redline , i'm at 18psi , i changed my wastegate to an external and i'm getting the same problem , i have no vacuum leak neither boost , we put the boost gauge on the wastegate line and the wastegate is seeing the pressure , we moved the boost nipple from the piping and put it on the intake manifold and still same problem , can anyone help a.s.a.p , i need my car working before saturday night

^^The bigger question here is: Why do you need it working before Saturday night.... :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol:

Heh heh heh...

If you have no boost controller how come you "have it set at 10 psi" ? I'm afraid some more info is needed. Does the engine have a solenoid connected to the wastegate? That could be malfunctioning....?

i have a date , the housing n ting good , i was thinking of puttin the external wastegate with a 7 psi spring and just use the boost controller to adjust boost instead of adjusting the wastegate, think this will work?

If I were you I'd check back my vacum lines. Also, are the vacum lines the same size or were they changed?
