!!!Over Boosting Help!!!

Ok,

Recently i just installed;

1.) Buschur Down Pipe
2.) Buschur off road pipe
3.) Buschur catback
4.) AEM Short Ram Intake

Ever since these mods my Greddy boost gage is recording 22-23.2 psi and this is NOT a SPIKE either its CONSISTENTLY around this psi , its starting to worry me a bit... as it make cause damage on my turbo...like blow my turbo or something......Looking for inputs;

1.) Is this a potential problem??
2.) what might be causing this???
3.) the best way to fix this...boost controller, aftermarket BOV, aftermarket MAS????

Thx

w. the mods u listen...its normal for the boost to go over alittle bit...from what u say it seems about right...so to answer ur questions...

1.theres no problems...u free up the exh. system and the psi goes up a little...

2.see answer in #1

3. boost controller should do it...manual or electronic one...


i dont understand why u bough all that stuff but not a boost controller...?

I guarantee you it's your POS AEM intake. Take it off, and problem solved. I had the same thing.

Your BCS is being overwhelmed because your TBE has a lot less backpressure that it and the wastegate can handle. A BC will probably cure your problem.
