Boost Issue Yes Another

Ok so i have full 3inch exhaust, turbosmart manual boost controller, fmic, auto meter liquid filled boost guage and splitfire coils. i have my boost T going from actuator to fmic plumbed into the bottom pipe of the 2 intercooler pipes. The other pipe that goes to plumbback pipe is blocked off.

My question is that my boost keeps changing ranging from as low as 5 psi up to 11 psi i would like it to stay around 10 psi dont mind little creep. i have done the tuning thing with my boost guage and set it to 10 psi and then later on it will change and change through out the day. Im not sure what it is because if it is set up properly my boost should hold 10 psi all the time right? doesnt matter about if its cold or hot because the same amount of air is being pressurised and bleed off right?

and im not talking about spiking and then setteling like bleed valves do somtimes, its when i hold my foot down that i take my boost reading.

Any ideas and help would be much appreciated :)

cheers Kurt

I also had this exact problem with a manual turbosmart controller. I never ended up fixing it unfortunately I just went back to the stock solenoid with the permanent high boost mode and due to the fmic it constantly sits on about 9psi with no realll hesitation like I did with the manual controller. Maybe give that a go if u can't ever figure it out?

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
