188ite Member 18 Member For: 13y 2m 23d Posted 02/05/12 11:30 AM Share Posted 02/05/12 11:30 AM Hey Whitexr,I've been having similar problems, taken my car to a different tuner, he ran it on the dyno a couple of times only making 250rwkw with similar mods to yours at 15psi, found out it was my new high flow cat sh*t the bed, it was running hot while not even on boost, you would pull over after driving on the highway for 10 minutes not on boost, pop the bonnet and the intercooler piping was HOT! Now that I've changed the cat, temps have gone back to normal, and the tuner I took it to told me if it was the cat causing the problem, after getting it fixed it would boost spike more than what we set the boost at. He set it to 10psi to be safe, now the cat has been changed it wants to spike above that so I'm just waiting to get it retuned and it should have the problem solved.Just you saying the the high temps under normal driving, that was my problem too, and I even had a cooler temp thermostat than stock.

But your problems sounds exactly like mine, so il be double checking the exhaust system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
