Before the hiss I was only getting 9ibs
Would that have been a different issue the hiss just started today

 

Could have been a connection working itself loose.

 

Also how do I adjust the boost is it done with a tune?

 

You dont. You will blow the engine. Take it to a professional or you will wish you did.

 

So adjusting the boost is don't with a tune then not with a pill and waste gate or a boos controller

 

Your end goals and competency working on cars decides that.
If you want a 28 psi evo x turbo monster than you would replaces a plethora of parts.
If you wants a 20 psi mild tune you can do that with an EBCS.

You should not be worrying about "adjusting" boost but rather figuring out where the boost you are making is going. As stated before 9/10 its going to be a loose hose on the UICP, or LICP. It sounds like your car was modded pretty good then they traded it in, took off a bunch of stuff and did a **** job reinstalling their stock parts.

 

He just doesnt sound like he has a handle on this at all. Its good to learn new stuff its also expensive on an evo. If you turn up the boost without the proper tune it will blow the engine fyi.

 

I agree,
That's why I'm saying he need to not worry about more and start worrying where the leak is...they are mutually exclusive concepts as one pertains to performance and his problem is a maintenance thing.

 

so I had a smoke test done and all the lines for the turbo are connected and good can someone explain the wastegate the auto shop said they think the boost is coming from the wastegate

 

Do some googling on parts of a turbo system that will help you figure it out.
FWIW I just had to replace my wastegate actuator, ask the shop to tighten down the Wastegate actuator(WGA) arm as much as they can and see if your boost gets a little better.

 

 

So the leak is in the boost gauge that is installed but still doesn't explain why I'm only getting 9ibs of boost when everyone here is saying 13 to 18 psi so now that I've fixed that can someone tell me what a stock 2011 ralliart should peak at

 

Its on cobbs website, I believe 16 peak is in my brain.
I would lean toward another leak being there.
go over every boost and boost signal line there is and see what you find I'm certain you will find a plethora of little leaks biting you in the *** right now.

 

It's 18-19 peak psi on a stock Ralliart. Look at post #13 in this thread and Razorlab posted a graph that shows you the numbers right there in black & white.

 

One more - find the leak(s).


Take the gauge out of the system and see if the car pulls harder. If so - it too is leaking.


Replace the BOV and then (only then) try another waste gate actuator. WGA doesn't really fail (none I am aware of).
