boost leak
 

i have a turboed b16a running .7bar on stock block it boosts fine up to 5-5.5k and then starts to drop down as is goes in to vtec and then holds at about .4bar could this be because of valve float as it only happens at high rpm there are no leaks in the charge pipes that i know of.
also i heard you could tune valve float out with some adjustable cam gears if this is true any of you guys know how? cheers!!

i forgot its a spark racing turbo mani! ;D

Re:boost leak
 

Well what trim T3 is it? what car does it come out of?

Re:boost leak
 

mine does the same thing. Do you have gaskets between the turbo/mani? I was thinking it's because I didn't use any gaskets. Once I get some ordered well see.
