We've just fitted the EVC 4, and have a few problems....

1. If I set the High Boost to say 1.1bar, the boost reading goes upto 1.2-1.3, but on the dyno the boost is holding spot on.

2. Had a mate look at the instructions, and he thinks the LOW boost setting is when the controller starts to open the wastegate for spooling & the HIGH boost setting is the limit of boost. I thought he was crazy, because as I understand it, the LOW boost is for ***** driving & the HIGH boost is for everyday driving. But after some testing, I think he is correct, maybe someone can test it themselves? When I set my LOW Boost to eg: .5 and HIGH to 1.1 the boost comes on smooth and early, if I set my LOW boost equal to my HIGH boost, the boost is much more agressive and comes on later.

I'm running HKS Silver Actuators which I believe are .9 ~ 1bar, If I'm setting my EBC LOW Setting below this figure, is it useless having these actuators?

I have an EVC 4 aswell. Low is one boost preset(everyday driving) and high is the other. Low cannot be set higher the high setting tho. Boost response is set while pressing three buttons at once and then the screen flashes -L- then you floor it in third from 1000rpm to redline. then the screen flashes -H- and you do the same. Boost curve is then set to optimal and cannot be changed. I have the instructions at home if you want to know which buttons to press i can't remember off hand.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
