Axle Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 My car is full BPU, with Greddy SMIC and Blitz Dual Boost controller. Anyway, i gave it a lil boot,then pressed the memory button on my boost controller to see wot it boosted at... 2.0 Bar! Never gone anywhere near that high before. Thing is it never done this again, when i was booting it for the rest of the night. Could this have anything to do with my BOV? As it was leaking slightly, so i made up some pipe to secure the leak, but since doing this it doesnt 'whooosh' as much so to speak. Any ideas gents?

tDR Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You would loose boost if your BOV was leaking. Do you have a restrictor ring fitted? Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 your boost gauge is broken! mine was running at 2.0 bar while my car was stand still lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Check the hoses to your wastegate actuators mate, I had exactly the same thing when I had a split actuator hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yes restrictor ring fitted Tdr. Maybe there is a split somewhere? Cos 2.0 Bar would have probably cooked somthing! 2 bar at standstill is impressive! lol Thing is for the rest of the journey it was hitting 1.1 bar so dont understand what caused that one off? Will take it for a spin tomorrow and see if i can locate any split hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 when i fitted my new defi guages it was sat at 2 bar with the warning going off. then after a few off and ons it was reading too high by about .5 bar. then off and on again it was reading low by about a bar. then after a few trips like that reverted back to normal. wierd but it was all ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
