boost problems?

[stevo-with-the-evo]

just got around to fitting my boost gauge today and it works great well at least i think so. took car out for a spin and it was peaking at between 13-15psi but then after changing in 3rd boost went up to 25psi and car kicked back at me? any ideas would be great?

boost cut?

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

now just wondering if i took my feed from the engine from the right place??

 

[stevolution2010]

where did u take it from?

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

the hose that goes to inlet manifold not the one that goes to fuel regulator but the one below it to the inlet manifold?

 

[ElDopesta]

I would be interested in knowing where you took the feed from too.

Have you checked all of the vacuum pipes to make sure that they are secure???

[stevo-with-the-evo]

i checked all pipes after i came back and the were fine. i'll get a pic up in 5 mins.

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

If u can see where i mean?

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

any ideas?

 

[stevolution2010]

do u have a dumpvalve?if so tee off that as it produces boost

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

yea i got 1 but does this mean im in the wrong place then?

 

[stevolution2010]

yea i got 1 but does this mean im in the wrong place then?

not intirely sure cant make out that pic but putting it on dumpvalve pipe will sort it

 

[ElDopesta]

Agreed!

Bung that Tee off and start again buddy.

What make is the Gauge and is it mechanical or electronic???

ah,good point hadnt thought of that

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

its a mechanical gauge made by swoosh i think?

I can't quite make out the Tee that you have there.

Swap them around and see if it makes any difference.

[stevo-with-the-evo]

still needed wires for baklight though

 

[ElDopesta]

The wires can come later.

Leave it until the morning and then make the changes in the day light.

I will get back to you on this around 11am or so to see how you got on.


El

 

[stevo-with-the-evo]

my tee is not on the one coming from fuel pressure regulator but the one below it goin into inlet manifold

 

[ElDopesta]

Well swap them around as I have said then buddy!!!!

Once connected to the fuel pressure regulator, all of your problems will be history!!!
