I have a Blitz ebc and when I just unplugged the electric wires(not solenoid)Im still getting 20psi from my boost guage. Is this normal?

 

bump

 

hmm... when I turn mine completely off (which is kind of like a disconnect of sorts) I get 12.5, sometimes 13.5 max. I don't think that your situation is normal?

 

I don't think thats normal. I would think you would get whatever psi your wastegate is set to open at.

 

I agree, I thought the stock wastegate was set at 14 psi or so.

 

I was thinking its 11psi but i'm not totally sure.

 

stock internal wastegate set at 11psi. When i turn off my EVC the LCD screen reads 11 on WOT

 

I stand corrected, but in either case Derek888 still has an issue. My guess would be that the solenoid is still modifying the signal.

 

are you sure you bypassed the stock solenoid??

 

sounds like the controller was set at 20 and you unplugged it and you are getting whatever flow the solenoid is letting through. Just so happens you are getting 20.

Plug it in, turn it down. Unplug it and see if the boost changes. I think the difference is your unplugging it.

I think that may be the cause. I just unplugged the head unit to have it taken out to custom match the stock panels by the shop. It was set at 20 psi before I unplugged it.

 

it's ebc, not mbc.

you still have your restrictor pill. 20psi is normal, since stock boost is at 19.5 psi.

depended on the weather, you'll boost up to 23psi then taper to 16psi.

usually 20psi, and down to 17psi.

 

thats what I was thinking...
