no boost, what's wrong?
hello everybody.
i drove the car around tonight and from the second i started it till i turned it off i didn't felt the boost at all.
there wasn't any unusual sounds
the gauge shows 8psi's but its barley moving.
i checked for blown charge pipes but i didn't found anything,
the setup is:
log manifold
volvo 760 turbo
turbonatics wg
2" charge pipes
2"dp
apexi twin chamber bov
smic
safc and 450's
stock fpr
what could it be?

Is the guage creeping up to 8 like it normally would? I would mayeb check the bov or even the wastegate for possible leaks. That still wouldn't completely explain your gauge reading 8 psi but it could explain lack of boost. Maybe your gauge is messed up.

Re: no boost, what's wrong?
are you stupid, turbo size has everything to do with it, especially if a turbo is out of its efficiency range, there was a thread awhile ago were a guy was running to low of boost on to big of a turbo and didnt make any power at all :1
