Yes, it is confirmed - you are completely off your rocker. 30psi in most cases? How about in no cases...

No, don't crush it unless you over 24-25psi on a regular basis, or unless you do a pressure test and the BOV opens early...

 

lol k here we go.... you got it right on the second time...it holds 21/22 up to around 5k then it bucks and i lose power...then of course i let off the gas and then i get back on the gas for testing purpose's and it does it again..

2ndly...tighting the waste gate was advised by couple other people, when it was tapering...now its not tapering lol...the car is going nuts.... i got the cutout/test pipe because i live next to the top guy in broward county sherriff dept. so i have to keep my car quiet, i dont want to **** him off....and 2ndly my dad doesn't like modding cars...so if he doesn't hear or see something different he doesn't know im changing anything...he's all about warranty... i know i could have got something that looks stock like the rsr something...not the gt2... but i love the dieselish v8 turbo sound lol it sounds angry and beasty as hell

cheers

 

well i bought some grease, cleaned it and put it back together...when i try to run 21 pounds of boost around 5k i get a fuel cut. so i turned it down 1 click and it did it at 6k thats around 20-20.5 pounds. then i clicked it down one more to 19.5-20 and it doesn't buck now? what do you think could be causing this? i know they run rich, does anyone thing that could be the reason? im saving up for a tune and im hoping that might solve my problem?

thanks

 

Get a tune!!! Your ECU can't handle all the air coming through the MAF without being reprogrammed (flash) or fooled (fuel/air/etc mgmt system).

 

any1 else agree with kazzevo? im thinking the same thing...any1 else have the same problem without a tune and a decent amount of mods?

cheers

Fuel cut is natural when running more boost than stock without a flash. It's designed to do that and has been happening to people for 3 years. You get a frowny face for this and for the fact that you have a brand new IX with so many mods already, yet you live at home and hide your exhaust from your dad who thinks your Evo is still warranteeable - if you break something, then it will get ugly. That makes baby Jesus cry.

 

lol...naa i dotn live at home, i have my own condo but when i visit i close it up...he's a busy guy and i dont want him worrying about my car breaking down...i have 2k saved up for if something happens....that moneys not to be touched...i've thought things through i'm not as dumb as i may appear lol

 

Mmmm, k. Earlier, you said you chose your exhaust cutout based on him not wanting you to mod the car, but if you live on your own and pay for your own car, then...

Sounds fishy to me...

 

turbotrix comes here the 18th...so im gonna try to shoot for that, if not well see..i'll stick to low boost for now. thanks for your help. btw..im almost done modding i dont plan on going crazy with the car...i just wanted to buy all the basics and call it a day...i blew way to much money on my audi and theres never an end to it.

cheers

 

ya i pay for it and live on my own....but out of respect for him i dont wanan **** him off.....he is my father and its nice being able to cap it up and have it be completely silent when ya have a headache or when im downtown and theres a cop on every other corner... ill get a cat back eventually....i just wanted bang for my buck...and for 25$ i sure got it..dont you agree....ur all about bang for the buck...i basically got a turbo back for less than 200$ i paid 100 for my dp, 70 for my test pipe and 25$ for cut out

 

i wanna hear a bunch of catbacks be4 i buy one...so far i've heard hks bushur and megan...couple more than ill get one... i really like how the rsr gt2 looks...

 

Curious, has this problem with the Forge MBC been resolved by the manufacturer, or is the grease solution on the ball-bearing the only fix?

 

FWIW - I swapped the Forge unit for Warrtalon's Hallman that he keeps for testing purposes. The Hallman was soooooooo much better in that the boost didn't waver up down up down like it did with the Forge

The boost still tapers a bit more than I would like, but it's possible that the IX turbo just naturally tapers more ...

I still think that a turn of the wastegate actuator might improve the situation slightly, but at this point, I'm sending back the Forge unit as it's clearly not performing properly. I did try 'greasing the ball' and my spring was seated correctly. Dunno if it's a manufacturing defect with this unit, or a bad spring or what ... all I know is that swapping it out for the Hallman with no other changes made my boost wavering problem go away ...

 

For me greasing the ball solved the problem completely. I'm quite happy now with my UNOS, boost goes up to 22 PSI (in 3rd and 4th gears) and stays there the whole time, if I see a drop in pressure is 0.3 PSI maximum.
