boost backing off, not making 1 bar

[tez]

hello

right i set my actuator at 1 bar

but i only seem to be getting 0.8/0.75 bar on my gauge.

The car feels quick

but seems to be a good kick of boost then backs off

Could this be my turbo?

or a leak?

or my actuator(hks)?

when fitting the HKS it felt tight and not loose?

any ideas?

CT9 turbo

Adjust the actuator again and then see if you can hit 1 bar - assuming you have got other supporting mods (fuelling something to remove fuel cut etc?)

fmic

blitz decat & exhaust

hks actuator

ported manifold and turbo

relocated filter

JAM ecu

What is standard boost in bar?

do the ct9s seem to back off at the top end of revs?

mine is doing the same boost up to 3500 then nothing i think its due to my exhaust mani gasket blowing though well i hope it is hope you get this sorted

prob get a ebc and have ya actuator set at like .6. thats how i ran my hybrid set up. then controllers doin all the work and ya actuator will hold boost better.

it only backs off slightly at higher revs.(not at 3.5K)

theres no leaks as i carnt feel anything(hipefully)

would it be a good idea to me to get a MBC or EBC and up the boost from that?

or adjust actautor at 1 bar?

try actuator but most people use a boost controller over .8 i think. also the ct9 will run out of puff high end.
