Hey all, just curious to see what every1 thinks. I been boosting 1 psi for the longest time and also had check engine light for camshaft position sensor. Turns out , teeth were off one notch on the timing belt and the wires for the camshaft sensor were loose. mechanic fixed both and the check engine light came off. So today ,i checked the car to see if it fixed my boost problem but it didnt, was still running 1 psi. So when i poped the hood i found the T connection for my boost gauge was all shredded up. SO i installed a new one with rubber hosing and now I am getting 4 psi.


***BUT*** the weird thing is, now im gettin 4 psi and when i hear the turbo spooling , it gives off this crazzzzzy sound. like a ripping sound, kinda sounds cool but i never ever heard it before, WTF. and when i let off the pedal , it does the same thing but louder. WTF is that about?!?!? any1 have any ideas???????

 

is there a lot of white smoke? how many miles on the turbo?

 

Get yourself a new diverter valve.

 

his sig says hes got an evoms dv. idk how those are made do they use a rubber diaphram? or are they all metal? cause that might or might not be the problem

 

ah - unfortunately his sig is a graphic, and my office blocks various image hosting urls... So I do not see it.

I am not up to speed on the evom

 

thank you so much for your replies, always appreciated.....

i have a feeling its my DV, cause especially when i let go of throttle its really loud. sounds lke a high pitched farting/ripping/water gargeling noise. hmmmmm. i will get a new one and tell ya how it went down. =) . thanx again guys.

 

SOLVED, for the most part =))))))))))))))))))))) ( extremely happy)


went and bought a manual boost controller from s-k speed for 90 bucks and bypassed the n75 and now im boosting between 6 and 9 psi. SWEET.

still have that weird noise comin from evoms diverter valve. Gonna buy a forge DV next week and pop it in.



ko4 setup or BT setup coming very soon. =) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you guys, <333

 

For what?

You slapped a band-aid on your car. [[[( :: )]]] It's only a matter for time before you have larger issues... like lean misfires and another MIL.

These cars run more psi with a stock tune than that. Look for a loose boost hose or bad vac line to the DV. Or try a new boost gauge.

 

sorry i sounded too happy for you. if only you knew wut i have been thru.

was doing boost leak test and all that other stuff this weekend ANYWAY. This was a big step for me.

currently on my 2nd gauge, 2nd turbo, 2nd head, 2nd timing belt job, 2nd DV.....etc

 

i had a big vac leak by my intake manifold... still do, with my tune i should be spiking 18 psi. im only pushing about 12. i need to get that leak fixed.. check around your suction pump make sure all the hoses are connected, i had a hose blow off that and i was only boosting 8psi with a stage 2 tune.
