Ok...before you flame me and tell me to go search...I did and to be honest I really don't know what I am looking for...So instead of flames give me some direction and help me find the appropriate post

What's happening is that I notice if I am in 1st and I boost past 4200rpm I get no boots in the next upshit 2,3, or 4th...same for second...if I am in first and then boost past 4200rpm then I have to let the rpm drop to about 2500-2700rpm before I will get boost in the next grear..otherwise it just hangs at 0 or 1psi of boost when I am at wot...

My boost pattern is also kinda weird 9 - 5 or 6 - 10...drops slowly from 9 to 5 or 6...when I say slow I mean like two seconds.

Just so you know who you are talking to..I am the most ignorant sob on this forum and really don't know where to go looking for a CCV or any of those 3 letter acronyms...What do you think would be the best way to tackle this if I want to fix it myself? I wont be able to physically work on it for another 4 weeks but I want to have a good idea in my head what I am going to do before I go pulling it apart...

Thanks

 

The work shop manual is a good starting point, it will be a good refrence to all the acronyms everyone throws around. Try a search on manual, work shop manual and you can download it.

Hope this is what your looking for.

 

Ok...I downloaded the manual...Ready for your input...comon now, don't be shy!

 

Check the hoses going to/from the wastegate and precontrol actuators, as well as the blow off valve and charge relief valve. Manual will tell you where all that is.
