wont build all 8 pounds
have a homemade kit that i put together with a hf manifold and a 14b turbo. when i first got the car tuned it would make all 8 pounds through all gears but first. now it builds 4 to 5 in second 5 in third and 7 in fourth. any ideas why it wont build the boost? on a full standalone tune system and the manifold and adapter plate is welded together. so it isnt a leak

boost controller... i can turn it all the way open and it still only builds the low boost... it isnt the controller because it worked before and the wastegate setting is 8 psi

I'm guessing that you are using an internal wastegate mounted at the turbocharger...correct? You might want to check if the W/G flap is not messed up.

Re: wont build all 8 pounds (blinx9900)
my first thought was the little bastard was dyin too... no smoke or anything... i am about to have sls make me a manifold for a big 16g or somethin and build the block i guess...
but to answer questions ya it is internally gated and to make sure the stock setting on the internal gate is 8 psi?

is your bov set too soft and leaking in boost? i had a similar prob like this and it was my bov set too soft? adjusted and viola back to 10lbs from a weak 5-6
also check your inlet air filter maybe starving the turbo inlet for air at boost..hope this helps

Re: wont build all 8 pounds (JACER63)
well i think it is too hard because the bov doesnt blow off unless i have at least 3 to 4 pounds built...
