only gettin 3psi

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

i checked the blow off and it closes , when u rev the engine it closes and when i release the throttle it opens back up, i checked the the charge pipes nuttin, im thinkn of jus gettin another turbo and buyin an external wastegate and that way im sure i wudnt have nuttin to worry about tnks 4 the info

 

[harlesjohn]

i think u should just double check everything because if u waste your money on that and u have the same problem you'll be pretty pissed off. what kind of bov do u have?

 

[harlesjohn]

im gettin a lot of info that its your wastegate,, you have a BOOST LEAK and just listen for something like a whooosh sound.. its not your turbo so dont get a new one, if anything find a shop and just let them chec the turbo out, it might be a 1 dollar bolt or some shit thats fuckin it up so there might be no need for a new turbo and wastegate.

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

i hear the whoosh sound , the blow off is a dsm blow off, so wat if i disconect the rod from the flapper , and another thing if i rev it like rev the engine shud the rod move back and foward while i am doin that

 

[harlesjohn]

the rod would move once it gets up to peak psi, did u say u have a mbc ?

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

wats mbc? i dont kno that abreviation

 

[harlesjohn]

manual boost controller

 

[harlesjohn]

so whats up with it?

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

i tried the manual boost controller still nothing

i tried the manual boost controller still nothing

It sounds to me like some kind of leak.

I would suggest checking your charge pipes where the couplers meet and anywhere where there are welds.

also having a cheap bov or wastegate wont help. I know from experience.
Those ebay knock off's are garbage.

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

no leak in the charge pipes checked that ,i changed the blow off and thats werking becuz it came of my bro car when it was turbo charged , now where i rotated the compressor housing i had 2 move the wastegate so the wastegate isnt at the normal position is that causing a problem

 

[harlesjohn]

if the wastegate isn't set up how it should be that is prolly your problem if everything else is working fine.. i would fix that and then see if you get more boost

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

yea im gonna try that as soon as i get sum time , and will holla back

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

it was the wastegate all the f#%kn time, it was open , that was the problem

 

[harlesjohn]

i knew thats what it was haha , was it the spring? im glad you found your problem.

 

[96 Bahamas Hatch]

it was where i had rotated the compressor housing and hadto move the wastegate. so the rod was pushin the flapper oopen, i bent the actuator foward so the the rod would keep the flapper closed , and that solved the problem , 5psi is a rush goin to step it to 7psi and call it a day , i get a hard on everytime i here the turbo scream

 

[harlesjohn]

haha wait till your an owner of a supra with a huge ball bearing turbo with 1,000 hp you''ll have to have a cum rag on your seat in your case HAAHAim glad your set up is workin how you want it.
