Re: Engine not seeing boost.... (BlackB18CTeg)
have you a boost gauge? Where did you tap?
what do u mean by not seeing boost? you dont feel any power? What kind of fueling do you have?

Re: Engine not seeing boost.... (Pritos)
tapped at FPS for wastegate and boost gauge..... I looked at VAFC and BOost guage and they are not showing boost. Also to get boost do I need to floor it or can I gradually enter into boost? I havent tried flooring it yet...... Iam using 450cc dsm injectors with vafc... 93 octane....

Re: Engine not seeing boost.... (BlackB18CTeg)
u have to get on the gas for it to boost. if u give it steady gas the needle will gradually fall back into vacuum. first check to make sure the gauge is hooked up correctly and that it works properly. then the next thing would be to double check all charge piping at all points to make sure there isn't a small leak or that ur piping didnt pop off while boosting. good luck

FPS? whats that.
And yes you need to floor it to get boost. I can ease in to it all the way to redline and never see boost

Re: Engine not seeing boost.... (BoostedH23a1)
nope, the turbo was spooling, but I think I just didnt push it hard enough. I tried again today, but i guess the intercooler is leaking....... And also the charge pipe right off of the turbo came apart. I think that was the problem. Still leaking oil like a bitch off 3 places
