boost creep or something else?
OK. Had the car tuned a few weeks ago by Jeff...the high tune was 16 psi I believe...and the whole boosted ride home it stayed at 1.15 on my boost controller.
So the other day, I notice it's at 1.26 after a third gear pull....then another time it went to 1.42 before a boost cut kicked in and the car stopped accelerating.
Jeff Evans set the boost controller for 3 settings....1 is the low setting, 2 is the medium, and 3 you guessed it is the high boost setting.
I backed it down to setting number 2 and it consistently goes to about .95 bar and stops...never over.
I'm wondering if I'm suffering from boost creep and how dangerous it is...I have a Blitz Dual SBC if that helps...Jeff was having a bit of trouble programming it and he commented about having to set it backwards from what he expected...maybe I should contact him as well.
Anyways, for the time being, I am leaving her on the 2nd setting because I don't want to be going that high.
Any ideas as to why she's going higher than 1.15?
Wastegate is tial 38mm. Manifold is a Neukin ramhorn.
Engine is a b18b bored out to 2 liters. Any other questions? Let me know.
