Boost lost over 6000 rpms
Boost lost over 6000 rpms
I just installed a turbo back today and everything was going fine, now for some reason when I go over 6000 rpms and the boost is 19-21psi I hear a loud squeal sound and I lost about 5-8psi of boost. I know it not the turbo sound because I know what that sounds like, but it does not do this every time sometimes it holds the boost fine to redline. Any help would be great because I don't think I am going to have much luck with the dealer.
well that's normal on a stock evo... don't know why you are just noticing it now. a turbo back is pretty hard to mess up installing, maybe you didn't tighten everything correctly or you are missing some gaskets...

No test pipe and it was holding the boost fine before the turbo back install. I also notice a sound like squeaky car brakes when it looses boost and even my wife said "What's that noise" so I know I can hear it and when I hear it I lose boost, and I can hear it from the motor area just hard as hell to trouble shoot the problem. I did check everything and I am still getting like a 5-8psi drop and it used to hold 19-20psi to redline now it's like 15 or even 1 time it was 12. Also sometime it holds boost to redline as well.
It could be the BOV but I doubt it.
Is it the stock BOV? And are you running the stock boost control and levels?
Most likely you have a loose hose that is leaking the pressure off.
It seems to be pretty common occurance. Check all of you IC hose clamps for tightness. In particular a lot of people have found the hose from the upper I/C pipe to the BOV to be loose.

Ya, I have the stock bov on the car and am running about 19-22psi. It does sound like it's leaking pressure because it hold 22-24 psi spikes it's just at high RPM it start to lose pressure and a leak does sound right because of the raised pressure.
