I had the same problem when I raised the boost the same way Steve.

What I did was I ran a line from the wastegate to the intake mani.It seems like it takes longer for the wastegate to see boost that way.Then it jumped up to 8psi.Try that.It should work.

I was gonna do that but I read that it gives off a "heat burst" kinda thing because of a boost spike from the wastegate being actuated much after the turbo.

I'm gonna check it out though. Maximum boost said if you can afford a short heat blast, than it will be fine, but then it ended with, "just attach the line to the compressor outlet and call it a day"

Well Raf is telling you that it will work.Its been working for 4k miles now.


**looks around**..I dont see no "Heat burst"

Now put down that book and go rape that engine DAMMIT!

I'll try it Raffi.

I just caught my first race!!! A rice boy in like a 98 ex with a bodykit rolls up on side of me. I know what time it is, let him get like a 2 sec. jump, then I raped him. At the next light he says, "is that nitrous?" (cause you know I shifted right as I was passing his door ) and I told him, "no, that's turbo" hahahahaha. He said, "man, I was like fuckk".
I was surprised he even came up on side of me. Most people think my car is just a dirty old piece of ----. Races have been hard to come by. Bambo told me I needed to start "rev checking" people, but we all hate those kind of people. :P What fun is it to go challenge and then smoke em'? I want to be challenged by ricers and surprise em'.

Thats the best right there. I love the look on peoples faces when they find out its a turbo. The smile and look over like its the coolest thing they have ever seen.

when I had the d15 in I would rev at people at lights and laugh when I lost because it was a d15. now I have the b16 and I don't rev anymore because it's not funny when you spend a bunch of money on a motor swap and still lose.

there i went ahead and fixed the first picture... cause you couldnt really read what i had written in that filth you call dirt...

And your welcome steve... Dont you ever give up on anything you start..... if you gut stuck... all you need is a kick in the right direction...dont worry about the mess you guys left... its still here waiting to be picked up... JK...

So I went to autozone and got enough vac line to run from the wastegate to the IM. The highest I hit on the afc was +.60 but me and bamboo noticed last night that my boost gauge reads more than that. Like when we had the dial a boost hooked up the gauge said 12.5 lbs. but the afc was only at 5.9 or something. What do I trust? It's hard to think the gauge could read more psi than whats really there. I don't know what to believe, but I know that ---- is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssttt. I love it.

Whoa how much boost you planning to run on the d steve? Yeah id go with the boost gauge reading deffinetly,

MikeJ-2009

Well, I'm still working on my turboedit setup, but the afc is running really good. At this point I'd take it to 11psi if it gave it to me. I really think tonight I was spiking 10 and leveling off at 9psi. That's good for me now. I'm having fun, but with time and patience I hope to run 12-14 on the street. That may be a little much for the tires, so basically we're gonna play with it and see what happens. I don't think I built this motor to push to the edge of destruction, but I did build it to push 12psi on the daily and not have to worry about it. The races are a different story, and that will be up in the air as far as how much I'll run there. With all of this ------- with the wastegate though, I think the next thing I get is an electronic boost controller.
