Not sure if it is related or not. But recently got reflashed after I upgraded my clutch and intercooler w/ piping.

The car is now low on boost most of the time. ie... around 13-14 psi. However.....Sometimes it will only go to that and hold it. Other times it will hit 10 and then climb slowly up to that. Still other times it will hit 21-22 and then fall back to 14. And then other times it will hit 21 and hold it good.

I am down to 2 things on what I think it could be. I havent done a leak test yet, and probably should but I would like to narrow it down.

I am thinking it is either my BOV (POS Greddy) or something on the reflash.

Am I pointed in the right direction>??? or anything else I should think about???

 

If you have an MBC, then the ECU has no effect on boost - it's not even connected to the boost system.

Look at what else you changed when the problem occurred. There's only one thing that affects boost...

 

100% greddy pull it and look at the the diaphragm. good piece till it breaks. you can get a new diaphragm for about $70 they sell them for a reason.

 

Thanks cfdfireman1....it was the BOV diaphragm. Its really shot....has a big tear in it.

You have managed to outdo warrtalon

LOL

 

I can die a happy man now.

 

nice pic....mine was 10 times worse than that
I would get one and post it but I am a little too drunk celebrating UK over LSU right now.

 

BTW I found it for $48.88 shipped on cardomainparts.

that's for the type r not the rs

 

sorry im using this post 4 my problem !!!
2 days ago my boost spiked at 29psi and i can not do anything.
i adjusted my greedy ebc and still nothing... the boost goes like i have no limiter...
why?????

 

Wastegate sticking perhaps?

 

if i turn the ebc off it goes on mecanical boost 12psi... so it shouldnt be mecanical...
but the bad thing is i put oem solenoid, to go with my ecutek and itmakes 12psi...no more!!!!????!!!!
