Yep I am tuned for 24psi and I am boosting to 29psi now whats does this mean?

 

Do u see 29psi on your stock boost gauge or on an interceptor or the like? My stock boost gauge spikes at 27psi where as my interceptor only spikes to about 23. I don't think that the stock analog boost gauges are all that accurate.

 

Interceptor won't read past 24 lol and sounds like boost leak or you just changed your elevation heavily lol

 

I'll second boost leak. Maybe waste gate or bpv solenoid, too?

 

How would a boost leak show MORE boost??? Or are you saying maybe the wg solenoid has a leak in the line to it which is allowing more boost?

 

And a good chance of killing the turbo from over spooling it.

 

Ill do a boost leak test this weekend, but I also only see ~10psi of vac unless I am in gear then I see ~20psi

 

Should be seeing around 19-20 at idle, in neutral, or with the clutch pedal in.

 

yea when its in idle, neutral or the clutch is in it reads ~10psi

 

Vac/boost leak then. I'm not going to say anything about the Crazy Steve, IC. Just know I'm thinking bad things.

no... listen to me.. you HAVE a boost leak... i looked for every other option / explanation... i was 100% sure i did not have a boost leak... then i did the boost leak test... saw it came from the weld on my FMIC... my weld broke off.... small hair line crack on the weld...

but thats not the worst part about... TXS gave me another FMIC... but the problem is now my lip... lol

i bottomed my car out pretty bad... my FMIC lost its weld... and my front lip is completley gone on the left hand side... lol!

Hmm, gee, another low hanging intercooler cracks. I'm shocked.

 

the turbo xs fmic is too big... it doesn't hang lower than the lip... but its about a penny difference clearence from the lip
