boost problems
I got some problems with my boost on second turbo, it goes up to 10 psi at 5000 rpm but drops at higher revs, at 7000 rpm I only have 6 psi.
It is destroing all the fun with the new exhaust cause the car is now slower than last G-tech test with oem exhaust...... Can the catback exhaust cause the lack of boost? |
G-tech is POS... Not very accurate.. or not accurate at all..... Last time i got 1 sec in 0-60 and 600 HP.

There are quite a few long-termers on the forum that have used the G-tech and found it very accurate for 0-60 and ET. (It will read high on trap speed because it measures the instantaneous velocity at the 1/4 mile, not the average of last 60 feet like the track.)
Gzon: do you still have the stock pre-cat and main cat? They could be clogged. Also, check intercooler piping/y-pipe for leaks. |

I got the pre and main cat on, if I make a downpipe, will I need an ecu? or will it work with just a Boost-control to get boost to normal? |
I remember now that my "to hot cat" lamp came on friday after a spin with the new exhaust, is that a sign of a burned cat?

yup

Originally posted by GoodfellaFD3S Looks like it's time for a downpipe and/or high flow cat. Be careful driving the car...you don't want to be looking at replacing your motor in the near future! is it dangerus to use the car? what can happen? |
