well i gotta hand it to vince. he just sent me another tune file after the whole day trying to figure out what was goin on he almost got it. i am now spiking 23.4 and holding an average of 21.5 -21.9 psi

 

so im gonna log it today and see if vince can squeeze another psi out of it

 

Leave it there if you don't want to push your luck. You won't feel another psi anyway.

 

yeah prob. i am kinda lucky to get it where i am. i do feel the extra 3 psi though

 

its psychological, u shouldnt feel it all that much but when you see the rpd say a higher number u think oooooooo faster, i do it too lol

 

i noticed the 4 psi difference between 15 and 19 so an extra 3 should be a noticeable difference

 

So it was what i thought... they added something in the 2010's

 

hm when mine varies from 11 to 15 i dont really feel much different

 

guess he won't be going fast so your plan to have some one else beat is backfiring mike lol haha

 

My 24psi tune does the same. It will spike 24 and hold 22-23.75 lol

 

Are you kidding? 3psi would be about a 15% increase in power. You should definitely feel that

 

vince had to trick the ecm. he said something about the iat's were directly related to the boost but he didn't tell me if thats what he fixed to correct it

 

At least he was able to get around it. Enjoy the power sir!

 

oh i am

 

thats the learn down feature. it only allows the car to make a certain amount of power

 

Thats because it stock. Learndown = Boo haha

Glad you got the problem fixed OP!

 

Still sounds like you got a leak to me. If you own a turbo car, you need to make sure you can do a boost leak test, at minimum. It's just one of those things you have to constantly do.

 

yeah ill prob test soon

 

I wrote a how-to on making a Home Depot tester, but I can't find the thread anymore. It never made it to the "How-to" section.

 

Yeah I remember that thread. Very informative. Dont know why it never made it to the official How-To section.

Talking about boost leaks, Ive been meaning to check the diaphragm in the BPV for tears...

 

What the consensus on the stock IC exploding? To me, because its plastic.. I could see it breaking here where i live, because it gets -50/-60c with windchill.

But assuming its summer, 20c above.. whatever. 23PSI tune SHOULD be safe? or 22 is the safe zone and even maybe still pushing it? Either way I baby my car alot more in winter. Lotsa plastic in the balt.

 

This is the second thread that I've read were somebody had a 23psi Trifecta tune and lost boost to 20psi in the colder

weather. I have the same problem and I'm curious if this is my issue?

 

Vince fixed it though. It was directly related to iat temps and the ecm

 

I have this problem too, vince said it could be a limitation of my car?? hope he can fix me i want 23psi

 

And ya think that's a good thing?
Wouldn't *go there* if it was me..but then again, I'm just a ***** when it comes to
boosting the **** out of this car.
