boost problem
 
Hey guys I have just installed a greddy prospec II recently and the boost falls off at high rpm..what would cause this?

mazdaverx713b Jan 21, 2007 07:32 AM

in a lot of cases its normal for the boost to drop at higher rpm by a couple pounds, especially with a few mods and a stock turbocharger. basically saying the turbo isnt as efficient as it could be to hold boost through the rev range.

The turbo has been upgraded to a t04 with series 5 exhaust housing

oh real I thought iu as the only one..I get 10 pounds then it falls away

Apparently the S5 and probably the S4 turbos cant flow enough and just fall away at hi rpm
