Hey guys I have a problem I think....It seems like my car isn't boosting enough for what the boost tables are set at. I'm not sure if i might have a boost leak.....it spikes to 21 sometimes then falls to 17psi near redline. I have Stage 0+ right now. It seems like I;ve had to turn up the tables considerably to get anything above stock boost levels. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to put a screen shot of my tables up but its not wanting to work for some reason.

 

try running the stage 1 map...

 

without the cam gears?

 

Yup. But, you may want to pull a little bit of timing out at the top end.

 

how much timing in what ranges? I don't want to take a chance at screwing it up. Also....are there are places to get V3 maps.....just so i don;t have to DL the stage 1 and change stuff.

 

Yeah Smoggy had the same problem. He rectified it with a boost controller and the new engine is being shipped as we speak. Call SmoggyFlash he will lead u in the right direction.

 

lol turned the boost up a little too high i take it?

 

So can most people that are running a stage 0+ safely run the stage 1 map if they want more boost?

 

Do you have 100's in the mid/upper cells on your stage 0+ map?

 

on the boost tables? yes.

 

If you adjusted the map correctly, then you may need to check for boost leaks. If your confident you have no leaks, then call up Vishnu and ask for the inline pressure bleeder. That will give you a couple more psi.

You may want to check your wastegate arm for proper adjustment too.

Hope this helps.

 

Just remember that boost pressures will reduce slightly on hot days. Expect to see a drop over 1psi in some conditions. It's been pretty hot here recently, FWIW.

Yeah Shiv I think it does have a lot to do with it being 90+ degree and humid here lately...my car feels sluggish. Is it normal to taper down to like 17 Psi between 6-7k rpm though? I know a couple people that say theirs holds constant the whole time....maybe they aren;t watching the gauge near redline. Maybe SMART will help some....i;ve already pre-ordered.

 

Yes....totally normal....some hold a little higher but never all the way across

 

alright cool...thanks for the help!
