So your currently measuring MAP Get a real boost gauge and plum into you intake! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingBAturbo Member 11 Member For: 11y 10m Posted 01/02/13 06:41 AM Author Share Posted 01/02/13 06:41 AM Ok so that gauge in that pic was absolute pressure, but now I found actual boost gauge on obd2 app, and it's showing 4hg/in which I about 2.06psi so where is the rest of the pressure ?? Please help I am confused ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBAturbo Member 11 Member For: 11y 10m Posted 01/02/13 07:34 AM Author Share Posted 01/02/13 07:34 AM Boost solenoid was done couple of months ago and TB was cleaned too , but I'll do it again anyway, how do I get crossover ported and polished ?? And how does diff bush affect boost ? And I never touched turbo oil feed so why it's causing over-boosting?? Sorry I asked too many questions as I am not familiar to turbosAny help would be much appreciated CheersGary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port and polish the crossover ....... jeez, someone is polishing something else saying that....although there are one or two enthuisiasts from the "top secret think tank" ...who think 0.5MM ground out of the crossover is going to produce 50KW. ( No names but there aliases are Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne).....Diff bush and oil line feed....... think about it.The MAP/BAP answer is the right one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really feel then need call your local dyno shop and for $70-100 they will run it up and advise you how your cars going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBAturbo Member 11 Member For: 11y 10m Posted 01/02/13 08:37 AM Author Share Posted 01/02/13 08:37 AM The gauge is a genuine Blitz one and was working when removed from a VLTurbo it was in that car for a week only .My mind is just about to explode ... Yeah liked the answers on others forums, they are pretty much same but I am trying to get as much as info I can get .. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauge is FARKED you won't get much help here if you don't listen to what "the educated" people have suggested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
