Tha Dragon Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi there Guy's,Yesterday i installed my aftermarket exhaust mani & Downpipe and ported the wastgate a bit, i bought a overhaul gasket Kit,change the seals and almost everthing, before the installation i already had problem with boosting cause when i stepped on the gas like ful trottle it boosted until 0.66bar and i had a broken gasket(the one that goes to the blackpipe to the intercooler) and when the boost lights came on all 3 went on but after a few seconds you'll see my boost dropping, but yesterday i fixed it and know it will only boost to 0.46bar and only to boost lights go on.Could 1 of you guy's give me some advice what the problem could be?I'm busy with a 200hp.i got a FPR liquid filledAftermarket Exhaust Manifold & DownpipeAftermarket Racing AirfilterTurbonetics Manual Boost ControllerStock TurboStock CatbackAbout to install HKS FCDAgain Could 1 of you guy's give me some advice what the problem could be?Thanks in advanceTha Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 it sounds like your standard actuater possebly, the standard ones are known to be weakhow much boost are you running? does the boost drop off?first of all i would check that you have no air leaks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 i'd look at the standard actuator, all them new parts, get yerself a hks adjustable actuatoroh, and how come i never seen no starlets when i was on curacao lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlexGTAdv Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I would definatly say get an uprated actuator. Whats happening is as the revs build the actuator cant hold the wastegate so its opening and that is why you are loosing boost. Uprated actuator will sort this for sure!

Wantaglanz Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 sounds like the FCD isnt installed correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adz_sportif_turbo Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 theres a how to somewhere maybe its on tgtt,,,when i looked at it it shown it being installed near the map sensor (i think it was a jam fcd but they work off the same principle). have you got your fpr set up?? i wouldnt run over fuel cut otherwise. take out the hi/lo boost setting and set up your levels to 12 psi just to be safe until u can set up your fuelling.
