Hey guys i just finished putting in my hypergear hi-flowed turbo and took it for a spin, but its boosting like crazy, my boost gauge showed that it was hitting round 20psi??? ive got a 14psi actuator and my bleed valve is still set on 12psi from the stock turbo. and even tho its boosting doesnt seem to hav that much power????

any help is help

my mods:

fmic

safc 2 (tuned to 12psi, which is wat i was running on the stock turbo)

turbo back exhaust, no cat

pod filter

040 pump

remove your bleed valve and see if its still doing it. should hold 14psi, you would need to re-adjust it to suit new actuator and turbo.

If bleed valve is set to run 12psi on a 7psi actuator then on a 14psi actuator it will be getting 24psi. Remove the bleed valve and try again. If there is still a issue give us a call.

no worries mate will do, ill let u know how i go

I had a over boosting problem here are some possible issues that could be causing the over boost 1. excessive back pressure causing partial closure of wastegate 2. failing actuator attached to interval/external wastegate 3. failing manual boost bleed valve

I had a leaking bov (prior owner had two atmo and plump back) with a creeeeeeping manual boost controller ($22 boost controller on ebay).

It was fun...... awesome drive at 17 psi until the AFM maxss out

opk so i pulled out the bleed valve and put on the stock t-piece, but it hasnt changed anything, still boosts like crazy, it starts peaking at 3500 - 4000rpm, and nothing has change from my stock setup, just the hi-flowed turbo... and sure its boosting, but no power is comin from that boost!!!!

any easy way of checking if the wastegate is actually opening???

could it be my safc 2, maybe the mixtures need to b changed to suit 14psi???

would an ebc fix this problem????

i had similar problem with my highflow. acuators set of 15psi car was bosting close to 25psi with a turbo smart bleed valve once that was removed boost went down to 15psi.

while overboosting i didnt notice any extra kick to what im getting with my current 15psi

How does that work?

You put a bleed valve on, set it @ 15psi (using a 7psi acutator) and then put a 14psi actuator in - its still going to be 15psi. There is no magical increase to 22psi because you changed actuator.

I changed my ext gate from 7psi to 14psi, overall boost didnt change (was running 17psi)

Remove the pipe from the solenoid and plug it straight into the actuator. Ie. 1x pressure source from inlet manifold straight to actuator. Do not plug into factory solenoid.

so ur saying that i plug the hose going from the inlet pipe (the one the pod filter is on) straight into the actuator???? and wat just block the one from the intercooler pipe

or do i still use the t-piece and connect it to the intercooler pipe, just avoid the standard solenoid???

another quick question...

i hav a safc2 which i used to tune the ratios for the stock turbo at 12psi. now that i hav the hi-flow and 14psi, should i get it retuned, do my ratios need changing??? or should it still be fine??

thanks again guys

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
