Troubleshooting: Hitting Boost /Fuel Cut At 5k & must understand why
Ive always been very proud of my sarcasm thankyou. The boost is ECU controlled. The cut is set to 15psi and the cold cut to 7psi. Its an external wastegate and boost is rock solid, never spikes or tails. My boost guage ha a peak hold and doesnt register past 13psi nor do i see it past 13.2psi on the datalog. Unless im missing the point and you actually mean something else, could you please elaborate?
)Tell ya what.. Just PM me what you suggest for a title change, so I can perform that task and I'll just go away and let you & your awesome sense of sarcasm handle the situation.. Sound good to you?
So basically, no you didnt mean anything other than that obvious statement..
Thanks anyway.
Anyone else experience anything similar that wasn't boost cut?

Just datalog it. Almost positive its hitting boost cut because of the colder temps. 2 solutions.
1. Adjust the duty cycle/temperature compensation table for the boost controller. Adjust it so it takes some duty cycle out in colder temps.
2. Raise your boost cut a touch.
Bust out that laptop and fix it.

Sry ya I just read it. I would datalog a live graph of all major sensors and make sure that there's no fluctuation in any. I had a blox tps that went bad and was doing weird things.
Thanks for the update. Mine has been fine for 5+ years. Just starting hitting boost cut of 22psi but only in 4th at 6500 rpm. Been just throwing money at it trying to fix it. Really hard to diagnose when you have to test at 100+ mph to see if you fixed it haha. I’ve replaced distributor cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, Mac valve boost solenoid. TPS seems to be reading fine in my datalog and I’m not running the car in colder weather. I have a tial 44mm wastegate with 5psi spring so might take that apart and clean it somehow. All the air lines to it seem fine but only visually checked them. Only thing I have done was change the boost level at the top end in the software to fix it temporarily. Just wondering what changed 🤷♂️
