Probably cause your ecu is trying to protect the motor! Stock turbo can't go past 13, at 14 it will blow the turbo. U got a pretty cheap controller? hence the spikes!

Probably run a few more mod- cooler and turbo back exhaust if u wanna run more than 10, then your ecu needs to be changed or remapped.

U will find the highest boost on redline gear 3!

ok, the turbo won't blow the moment you hit 14psi. i was running my stock turbo on my 33 at 14/15psi for a year and never had an issue. i know people who have run up to 16psi and not had an issue.

as for the ecu stopping it from going any higher, that isn't right either. the ecu has protections in it, but it won't magically stop it going any higher. you can go higher but it will start throwing tantrums. without knowing your setup i couldn't say why it isn't boosting any higher than 13psi. if you still have a stock exhaust then that would explain it, or if you still have a stock cooler, that could also be a contributing factor. or it could be a problem with the controller.

Yeah as mentioned above your ecu wont control boost. your turbo won't blow at exactly 14, could blow at 12 or could last years at 15 it's always a gamble.

Gizzmo controller is not a cheap unit and is a quality bit of gear so i wouldn't worry about that.

the advice to run bigger exhaust and cooler is spot on it never hurts to have more cooling and flow.

Your probably running out of a lot of things, fuel, turbo, spark even.

Try getting your fuel pressure checked, regapping your plugs to 0.8, check your wastegate setting, turbo size?, dump system?

My thought anyway.

Did you run a separate earth? fi you just replaced your pump and the car is playing up, I'd start there.

PS did it do this before you replaced the pump?

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
