not fully boosting

[robx1r]

hey all,

i have the car running somewhat good, only problem is on my private test strip i'm only boosting .5 bar my avcr is set to 1.3 @ 75% duty,

its a GT28RS with a gt tunning front mount and hard pipe kit

Check the preload on the actuator and check for boost leaks

preload? do explain. i didnt take the turbo off the manifold, i took it off complete and didnt touch it, it did run 24 psi though

If you haven't touched the turbo you will most likely have a boost leak. Or you may have damaged the turbo when the old engine cracked a liner?

did you have a electronic boost controler before if not you might need to set double the psi for what you want to run.

i did the setup is exactly the same as before! must be a boost leak!

time to start hunting!
