Boost Logs/Boost leak tester pics UPDATES
I logged requested (spec) boost VS actual boost today.. Its in Word doc. so check em out and tell me what you think... I accidently deleted the log going past 6k rpms, but it seems to me that overallmy actual boost is lower than requested. This is using the stock N75 valve. I think you can see towards the bottom of page 6 I go into limp mode (get the 17964 - Charge Pressure Control: Negative Deviation fault code.)
I dont have logs from it, but I never had this problem when I was using the N75H (race) valve. I had posted when I orginally swapped them that there were no problems, but there deffinately are. Ive got a mbc on the way so I can try to bypass the N75 altogether and see what happens. I have checked for leaks everywhere but the wastegate actuator hose but havent ran a boost leak test. Just looking for some feedback... On anything.

If you notice strange jumps in rpm's/boost its because I was pausing and resuming the logging.
ALSO, I see numbers as high as 2380 mbar... According to a psi/mbar calculator, that equals 34psi.....? wtf?

RE: Boost Logs
I just quickly threw together a little graph and plotted the Specified and Actual Boost values:
The two curves seem to follow each other pretty good but I can see what you mean that actual seems lower than specified especially at the peaks. Maybe a boost leak test would explain the situation (I'm no expert, this is just a suggestion).

Thanks man.. Im going to go get the parts to put this together: http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...boostleak.html

RE: Boost Logs
you're not off by much as far as boost goes. from what I can tell your peak is about 50 mbars off of the supposed peak. the RPM range is a bit different, but all in all I'd say you're pretty close to where you need to be. you could definitely be losing 50 mbars at a leak somewhere. but again. thats not a huge difference in the big scheme of things.
check that. your "actual" is 50 mbars higher...at lower RPMs. unless I'm looking at this completely wrong.....
I've got a graph if you wanna see it of boost plotted against RPM's. you are falling off at the high end of the RPM range, but that's probably a case of an undersized turbo, not a boost leak.

RE: Boost Logs
Here is a link to one I designed, it works very well but involves a little bit more hardware to build (the main link is included in the upgrade link).
