what chip is in it? was it a boost chip or just some run of the mill performance chip? if it is idling like **** and running like ****, i think a compression and leakage test is in order.

it idles ok. what will happen if it leaks air thru the bov. also i don't see the internal wastegate moving when i give it gas or the bov realeasing pressure.

 

the wastegate will only move under boost, and it is possible you dont have the b.o.v. hooked up to manifold vacuum.

before or after the check valve?

 

it should be open under vacuum, mine is at least and i never have had issues.

What kind of chip did you use? If you're using a chip with a map for different size injectors, or not made for a boosted car, it's going to run like crap.

 

i got it to work. it was an injector that was not working

 

Just curious, how was it running with one injector out and how did you figure it was the injector? did it like hesitate when you went on the throttle?

when i step on the car it was not responding right. my friend unplug one of the spark plug wires and nothing happen, he check the the injectors and the pin of one of them was sideways.

 

but now my car is only boosting like 2psi. someone told me to get a manual boost controller cause the factory setting for the internal wastegate wont let it boost more than 2-5 psi. is this true?

 

ttt

 

depends on turbo

 

what turbo do you have?

garrett t3/t4

 

You can't turn the boost down more than the internal wastegate, you can only turn it up, and I don't know of any T3/T4 turbos that have a 2 lb internal wastegate so I would say look for boost leaks? Does it feel like your only getting 2lbs of boost or does it feel like its boosting correct cause there could be a boost leak in your line to the gauge, just a thought.

 

the car runs but it only boost 2psi. doesn't go past that

 

Did you check for boost leaks?

 

your catalyic converter is clogged of you got boost leak. try running it in open downpipe and see if it spools

 

expletive a cat..cat on a turbo setup=a no no

i have an open downpipe right now. can't boost over 5-6 psi
