also check ur intercooler hoses, i once had a cracked (not visible) cooler hose, the ones going into the end tanks that stopped my car from holding boost coz it wud split slightly on high boost. other then that u said u have changed plenum seals etc... i dunno maybe turbo or actuator

yeh but wat did they check wen they say "boost leak check"?? i mean its easy to miss something... doesit sound like it has an exhaust leak? maybe turbo gasket (between exhaust manifold and turbo)?

hmm i dunno, i guess u need to try rule out a few things, may be a leaking BOV issue, i mean u are still running the stock BOV yeh? try borrowing one see if that helps

this was with the leakin plenum gasket.

previously i made 241 on the same boost a week ago. but yea couldnt hold 16 psi this time either

Some tuners do not know how to fit a boost controller in...trust me.

You will need to re-set your boost controller.

This is what happened to my AVCR...after a few weeks I lost power and boost.

Anyway...you may need to take it to another tuner for more in-sight into whats going wrong.

Hope I have been of some help.

the boost controller has been in for a while.... we'll see how it goes next week, hopefully they can sort it out

Question: What if you squash the Unit, without blocking the hole.?

As I need to make it so It does not release air back thru to the plumb back pipe, say when ur driving at -10 psi. or backing off the throttle from -0 pressure gentley .. this condeluded pipe is pissin me off! I can hear any volume of air, passing thru the Pllumb back pipe, + pressure or - pressure.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
