Possible boost problems, any help/feedback would be appreciated. I noticed last weekend while driving on the highway (long trip) that when I hit "boost" it kind of smelled. Today on the way home from work, by buddy who was following me said that when I hit " boost" he saw black smoke coming from my exaust. Any ideas.....?

 

Rrobably running really rich.

 

Is it making full boost Steve? If it is then I wouldn't sweat it, these cars do run really rich.

 

my magnaflow tip is covered in black sut. It's normal trust me.

 

Still running around 80 kph, seem to still have the power.

 

What is the max boost from factory. The most I get is About 10 1/2 PSI.

 

Black smoke is ok at WOT. Hopefully someone will come along soon and be able to flash your ECU's to lean out your mixture a little.

lcaunt, how many miles are on your car? Are you through your "break-in" period yet?

 

I have a little over 3500 miles on it and I saw that in another post about the computer limiting your performance for a certain amout of miles.

 

lcaunt The max boost is 12 PSI when you're at high RPM (near redline) and when the temperature is'nt too hot or too humid. Maybe you should go to the dealer to see if you can ajust the little srcrew on the bypass valve.
