Boosting Problem

[FLYSLY]

Tonight i had to go and pick up the pizza`s for tea, anyway i was cruising along and gave it a bit of a squirt i looked across at my boost gauge and it was over 10psi. And im thinking what the hell is going on? When i got the car from chris (AMS) it already had a jaycar ebc and handcontroller installed which he said was to set to 7-8psi. Now i have absolutely no idea how to work the damn thing, admitedly i have stuffed around with the hand controller before but that was months ago now, and i have never noticed it over boosting until now. So i have no clue what is going on but all i can say is i dont like it especially without an safc or a decent tune to make sure its not leaning out.

But on the way back from picking up dinner i gave it another squirt to see if it did it again and yep sure enough it did, but this time i put my foot to the floor and i hit 15psi on the boost gauge and i backed the hell off as i believe if i didnt it could have easily kept going past 15.

So is there any suggestions as to what might be wrong? What should i do? I believe i should be ripping the damn boost controller out and just run stock boost until i get a decent ebc and a tune which will be nice and safe etc...

Any help would be great.

Cheers Simon

well you in melbourne right? Dont stuff around with it. Take it to racepace and have them check it out. learn from them i suppose

just around the corner from them lol, but i think i will rip the ebc out first then see if it is still doing it it. If it is i will check vac lines for cracks, i have nice blue vac line to go on anyway, then if its still stuffing up i will take it to a pro.

But i like trying to sort this kinda stuff out myself if i can! I figure it has to be the boost controller

Hey Simon,

IEBC has a line wrong in it somewhere... So technically it doesnt work. Go to racepace and ask them to install it properly. I'm sure Alex or someone similar will help you tune it. All the tuts. are in the book I gave to you anyways...

So technically at the moment it is only running off the standard solinoid. Maybe its dying? Who knows, but it it only running standard shit at the moment. Lemme know what the outcome is. But dont doubt the IEBC - its a great bit of gear

Sounds a little like it's free boosting, no feed to the waste gate? I'd be checking that line first...
