only 3 psi????
setup-
-d15 with dpfi, fmu, t3 .42 .48 turbo, hf mani, bmc adapter plate, ghetto downpipe, wastegate chained shut. i can only get 3 psi at the very top of third gear. with the wastegate chained shut i should build boost until the motor blows. any ideas on why this thing wont boost? |
Re:only 3 psi????
Exhaust leak somewhere? Possibly a leaking chargepipe of coupler? Also you are driving to build boost right? not just reving at a stand still?

Re:only 3 psi????
the only exhaust leak could be between the turbo and the adapter plate, but it didn't have a gasket there from the factory so i dont think it needs one. yes, i am driving to try and build boost

Re:only 3 psi????
i bet u one of the couplers ripped in half, u wouldn't be able to really see it, so i advise u to go over and double check everrrrrrrry single one. I was too igornant to check because i was SOO sure that there wasn't any leaks, but at the end i had a coupler that had a rip in the middle where u can't see unless u stretch it. :) so good luck findin heh

FIXED IT!!! the wastegate was hanging up on something. but now the only boost control i have is my right foot ;D i hit 10psi by accident once, it felt pretty good. i need to get a carb spring on it.
