Hey today i installed a turbosmart boost tee directly between the ic piping and the wastgate actuator. At first i was pleased as it was reaching about 9-10psi by 3500 then holding till redline :laugh: , so the gain had increased nicely. However when i change gear the next gear has no boost! :) and it has to build again... Any ideas on how to change this, why is the wastegate staying open during changes? it never used to. any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

I will double check it all, its just that it only started when i installed the boost tee. Full boost till redline then shift and back to 0psi and then it climbs again.... without the boost tee it is fine, anyway to change this?, or is the controller just sh%t?

Had the same problem with mine, worked well for 6 months then all of a sudden did the same thing yours is doing, wouldn't get full boost until 6000rpm in second after going flat out in first. Changed to a GFB boost controller and problem solved.

I was just watching my defi guage replays, and my turbo tech buils boost in first gear, when i change to second boost drops down the vacum but then instantly goes back up to 0.7BAR.

Is this normal? Or do you mean when you change the boost drops down to 0 then slowly has to build up again?

cheers

the boost is at 10psi then when i shift it goes back to 0 and starts to build again, takes a good couple of seconds to build up again, its really noticable, feels like there is a huge lack of power when you engage the next gear. only did it when i installed the controller. i have already removed it... :laugh:

what r33silvers2 is saying is that when he gets on the gas after selecting the next gear the boost sits at 0 for a bit before it starts building again, instead of going pretty much straight up to the boost it is set at.

on gear changes the gauge should go into vacuum.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
