got my car tuned at wrenches on sat and was tuned at 12lbs
couple days later the bolts rattled out of the wastegate that holds it to the turbo so it opened up the screamer pipe.. i bolted it back up and noticed i'm only boosting 6lbs now.. checks for boost leaks and there are non.. not sure what my problem is. __________________ 92 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 410awhp 05 CBR 1000RR REPSOL 07 Acura TL-S |

bad wastegate gaskets... or check couplers, turbo to manifold can you hear or smell exhaust when idling or not in boost.

clutch sliping (this would have to be pretty extreme)?
if theres no leas, perhaps ring are fried, does it hold the 6 lbs, or reach 6 lbs and bleed down? whats your afrs look like at wot? oh wait, you dont have a wb.. ; ) any noticeable difference in the vac reading at idle? EGT numbers differ from when you got tuned? __________________ Syn Customs: Carbon fiber and fiberglass work www.facebook.com/syn-customs On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to 0. |
