boost

[WARDANDRWTBY@AOL.COM]

I have a evo 8 and its got a apexi avcr but when the avcr is off the boost peaks out at 0.6 bar and holds at that is that right as thought they should be 0.8 bar anybody got any ideas what it could be cheers

Dodgy sensor/gauge or possible boost leak

 

[WARDANDRWTBY@AOL.COM]

What sensor could be dodgy mate and the gauge aint that old and its a electronic calibration one if it was a boost leak then wouldnt the boost drop at it goes to 0.6 bar and holds at that

 

[RsvRob]

If boost continues to build and you have a leak. It will just bleed out and not increase.
Gauge could just be wrong, specially if it's electronic. I've known a good few different gauges all varying by 0.1-0.2 bar. It's nothing major and not a problem till you start pushing high boost

Mine when off stays at 0.8 bar. Agreed could be a boost leak.

The actuator may be getting tired or is not pre-tensioned correctly.

Going to check the actuator the weekend mate but my avcr reads 0.79 kg/cm2 and my boost gauge reads 0.6 bar which would be more accurate

 

[RsvRob]

0.79 kg/cm = 0.77 bar
So I'd suggest your actuator is fine but your boost gauge is wrong.

Cheers for the info mate so the avcr is more accurate then

typical evo owner, thinking theres are problem when everything is fine
