Boost drop in higher gears?

[alundra]

Some news.

Seems I was afraid for my car because if just turn the screw for just an amount to only feel more torque and let it as it is.

I explain, I've turn 3 times (in 1/4 turn step each) the screw now in all gears i've constant 0.6 bars, no drop and a few spike at 1.0 bars. I'm very happy! What a car!

When i turn 1/4 turn more, I have the same boost except that the spike goes up to 1b (like 1.1, i mean the needle goes pass the 1b mark on gauge), seems the limit of this MBC (it was sold to maintain 1 bar... but for 15$...).

Thanks for all support seems the next tape will be an electronic devices but really expensive even old ones...



P.S: I love more my S12, what about you?

It shouldnt spike from 0.6 bar to 1.1bar,You still have a problem. Also 1.1 bar will destroy that little t2 and is completely pointless. There is no point in going more than 12psi on the standard turbo.

Have you removed your 'pov' safety valve on your inlet manifold?

Just found a picture of your engine bay, Get rid of that diaphram dump valve and see if it still does it and im assuming those boost hoses have jubilee clips on them now

So I still have trouble.
Yes 12psi will be my goal, it sufficent for me .

I'll check my car to find something later.

Some hints for reflexion: I'm at 3rd gear around 2000rpm, stabilize my cruises. When i went full throttle, it goes 1B and drop to 0.6 (spike appeared) but when i reached 0.6, when i upshifted, no problem it went to 0.6 and maintained the boost until 5800/6000 rpm.

I tested in 4th gear same thing, 2000 rpm, full throttle, spike appeared too

According to me: perhaps I have a leak hided, the spring of MBC is not enough hard,...

Thaks for all

i think your actuator is week. The actuator cant hold the waste gate back against exhaust gas pressure causing it to open and reducing boost.

i would buy a adjustable actuator from turbo technics (around £80) fit it and remove your bleed valve

Problem solved!



It was the screw that was enough screwed.

No drop at all! Incredible!

Thanks fo all supply
