A vid I took of my boost gauge tonight, I am not even boosting where I should be, much less holding! Well I will upgrade my DV and then get a MBC and then it will be all better maybe...

Looks like you got a leaky valve. It is releasing some pressure during boost. Also a mbc will allow you it get on the boost sooner and hold it longer.

 

ya, i think you have a little leak. My boost drops about the same, but a local repair place said that I have no boost leaks whaat so ever. So, I want a second opinion.

It could be our turbos dying from oldness. I have 117,000 on the stock turbo

hey, cincyTT, what valves are you taking about that can be leaky???

 

In my situation he was probably refering to my stock diverter vlave.

 

ah. that is a problem. get aforge or hyperboost dv. I love my hyperboost and ialways heargood things about forge.

wait a minute, you have a chipall this time and no upgraded dv????

 

I just got my chip not that long ago... and yeah the DV is next on the list. I think I am just going to get a 710N though, no need for me to drop 100+ bucks on one when I know I am not going to go much further with this car.

 

No, that is what i did, thinking ill save some $ and those didn't work for me.

they had the same affect as the stock dv. maybe i got a bad one or something, but i would not do that if i was you . just spend the extra money and have the confidence that your dv will not fail

 

you can try flipping it for a temporary fix.

 

I have heard that the upgraded 710N DV is all you need if you just have a chip. It will handle the boost just fine...

cincyTT, flip it? Please explain!

 

well mine sure as hell didn't.

i probably got a bad one or someting
