MAP EF2 boost creep troubleshooting
#31
Not to slam the customer here but more often then not a problem that is uncommon to a product is I is usually a user error. Send the turbo to MAP and they can test it out. If it is the turbo they can fix it and they have already offered to help with costs if it is. However if it isn't the turbo are you willing to do the same? It will cost MAP time to test your turbo.

I would also pump compressed air through the WG actuator (with regulator at a reasonable setting) to see what PSI the arm is actually moving at. This, along with setting base WG preload should be standard procedure during swaps...

It is definitely time consuming and takes some patience but worth the effort and experience gained. Best way to learn to do things.

Chris what o2 and downpipe you want me to try? I'll buy one from you and even go to a different tuner since I know you too don't get along. All I want is my car to run right. Not bashing you or map or my tuner. I just spent thousands on parts and thousands on installs and it doesn't run right. So if it's nobody's fault and I got to spend more I guess it's what I got to do. You can put it up here or pm me or call me.

Please check the preload on the wastegate actuator and report back. This could alone solve all your issues.
Pop the arm off the turbo, hold the flapper shut with your fingers and snap a picture of how the hole on the actuator arm lines up with the "post" on the flapper.
I'm looking for the middle circle in the above picture. I want to see what yours is at, and I can recommend where it should be.
