hey guys i've done the searches and still don't know what s going on. i just got my turbo hi-flowed and the boost rises freely. as soon as i put the foot down it flies past 1 bar. i took the bleed valve out and left it as stock setup and it goes to .8 bar for a split second and as the revs climb so does boost to 1 bar. i've checked lines i've made sure it fitted right. if i connect the wastegate to the bleed valve and the hose off the cooler to the bleed valve and block off the third line, winded up the boost the boost just climbs like it was on stock setup, as if it wasn't there. if i hook up the wastegate to the bleed valve and T piece the hose from the cooler and the third line then connect it up to the bleed valve it just flies to 1 bar and over. does anyone know what to do i want it to be set at 12 psi and hold. please need help

yeah exactly as stated by craved i did that. the boost goes to .8 bar then as the revs climb so does the boost to 1 bar. now whether i set the bleed valve to 12 psi or close it off it does the same thing. it goes to .8 bar then climbs with the revs to 1 bar

only other thing is that the wastegate cannot allow enough gas out to allow the lower boost setting

or

the wasegate is sticking and not opening fully to allow that boost reading.

.....

what sort of supporting mods do you have?

and does it hold at 14.7 psi once it gets there?

okay i've got a intercooler, full exhaust and now the turbo....still working on getting a computer.

last night i changed the wastegate to my old one and now the boost goes to .5 bar and then slowly creeps to 1 bar with the revs.

the boost doesn't just sit at 14.7 psi it goes to whatever...it just free boost...it once when to 1.5 bar

hey thanks for your info craved but still doin my head in

you think its a good idea to change the wastegate to something else

well the way i've hooked it up is from the

1. cooler hose->bleed valve->wastegate = it goes to .5 bar then when the revs climb so does the boost to 1 bar

2. cooler hose T piece with the other vacuum line->bleed valve->wastegate = i get free boost

with option 1 i turn winded up the bleed valve and it doesn't do anything it's like its not even there. it just does what is above at option 1. its the same for option 2 its as if the bleed valve is not even there

Have you try just running wastegate pressure? As in cooler hose to wastegate. If so what happens then??

Try wiring your wastegate wide open. Or disconect the actuator from the wastegate flap so it's wide open. (internal gate right?) Then go for a drive. See what boost you get. If you still get a bar with the wastge wide open, then your waste gate isn't big enough. I had a little problem like this when I fitted a dump pipe and an air pod filter. My guess is the extra breathability of the combined dump and air pod meant that either the wastegate was too small, or the actuator wasn't opening the wastegate enough when it was full extended.

Fixed it with a Jaycar Independant electronic boost controller.

My max PSI was about 9, so I tuned the IEBC to run 9psi the whole way through the rev range for a flat boost curve. You would have to do the same for 14.7psi

I also found that after fitting another pod filter that was more restrictive, boost would start to creep up and then fall off at the top of the range.

hope this helps...

hey thanks for the reply guys, craved i've changed all the hoses before i posted it and it doesnt change same shit. i'll try what chrisso said and disconnect the actuator thanks for the info mate. kyro if you could let me know about your mate with the sr much appreciated. the hiflow was done at JPC in thomastown in melbourne

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
