DavidAshton Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 List your spec. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wee-jo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I had problems with overboosting before. If you have an air filter mounted just behind your front bumper that could be one cause maybe. Or a hose may have come loose which could easily be sorted. Another alternative is to port the wastegate which should stop the over boosting. But listing your spec would help identify a possible cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 you got that plug and play installed yet??and it could be the actuator fooked the standard ct9 actuators are known for being weak try replacing that first i would Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 theres no air filter on it its got chicken wire over the hole.Lol its not a hole it a turbo......if thats running an un ported ct9 its going to be a very creepy setup esp with the side exit, stick efi pipe back on and it will be fine. Or port the wastegate on the "hole" (turbo). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andy.i Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 take the boost controller off and replace the actuator, will just be weak probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatep82 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 oki mate. should i replace it with a hks one? as mine is standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yeah by creepy i ment boost creep, you car is set up to pass a lot of air through it i.e no filter so it can suck plenty of the stuff in, short exhaust exit allowing turbo to spool more again sucking more air in.Id say upgrade the actuator but i very much doubt it will solve your problem, porting the wastegate is a case of taking the turbo of the car a grinding the wastegate so its bigger meaning you can get rid of more excess gases allowing it to hold boost better and not creep.
