Mazsport Type 1: some questions
Hey guys, since I am a total nub at turbo thinging....... well, in a tuning sense anyways
I was wondering if there are anything wrong with these graphs
I went on a logging run yesterday night
btw, I have done other log runs before, in 3rd gear for example, the car boosts up to 7PSI, mostly it'll be around 6 PSI
in 2nd gear (the one I did the run in) however, it spooled to only 4 PSI, and it's not constant boost, it looks like im losing manifold pressure, it goes from 4 to 2 to 3 to 4 etc etc
here's the graphs

also, the first few days that I got the turbo, it spooled to 7 PSI, always, always, but now no matter what gear, it only goes to 4 PSI, I have no clue why,

they said a leak somewhere... maybe it is the mani, maybe not... have you gone back tio check every single nut and olt and fitting since installing?
thats a very important step

ok, I retighted every single charge tube, and every single clamps
everything, I haven't tried the car yet, but should have no more leaks
I dont have a boost controller, I run a vaccum hose from the turbo to the wastegate, but that one is bent, it might have a leak in that tube, but i cant get to it since I don't have a jack (mine broke)
hopefully it's that and that it's minor, :D

If your wastegate wasn't getting a proper representation of the pressure being pushed by the turbo, it wouldn't open and you'd get too much boost.
When it doesn't see any pressure it's closed (to build boost), and it opens as pressure increases.

ok, I just came back from fixing the wastegate actuater vacuum line, I put a brand new line in and routed it differently + heatshielded it a bit more
I haven't messed with the BOV, mine is the HKS SSQV and it seems to be fine
I will re-tighten the boost gauge once I finish lunch just to make sure, cus that is the last thing I installed

ok, I tightened everything
turns out my manual boost gauge
is
epically
Tajed
like
seriously
Tajed
like, leaking
monstrously
not the vacuum line that it connects to
but the boost gauge it's self
god damn 20$ knock off ebay gauge!
I didn't buy it my self, someone bought it for me, sucksballz,glowshift should getsued
i used the int-X to log it again today
7 PSI like normal yo!
