hi guys.hope ur all well.

i am fairly new to the evo scene and this is the first turbo car i have owned. i have a evo 6 and i only seem to be getting just under 13psi.
the car has a decat pipe.decat back exhaust. greddy profec b boost controller and hks air filter.
does 13psi sound right or do you think i have a problem/possible boost leak issue?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

 

If the boost controller isn't set to anything but wastegate pressure, that sounds a bit on the low side but could be right. It never hurts to do a leak test anyway.

 

I have tried a variety of settings but that's the highest I seem to be getting.could it be a faulty actuator or something I've read is the boat pipe pill being on wrong side or something but don't know where I'm looking for it

 

Do a boost leak test firstly.

 

You could have it plumbed backwards, but do the boost test first anyway.

 

The boost controller was already installed when i bought it.do u have a pic of which pipe could be plumbed backwards as im really struggling to find it.
thanks

 

It should be between the actuator and the solenoid, you'll feel it in in the vac line. Others correct if I'm wrong.

 

Koolio will have a feel for it later.thanks for the help ☺

 

Is your boost gauge faulty

 

ive been checking the peak boost via the greddy profec b.
