STFA, CRV lazy to close?
Every once and a while the CRV stays open on changeover so boost keeps dropping, but by 5500-6000 at the latest it slams closed and I get full secondary boost, I never go through the gear without getting the secondary, just hear the noise of what sounds like a external wastegate which makes me think CRV, I know these rarely go bad themselves, so why is it staying open too long?
thanks
thanks

checked it out, the port that runs to the Y-pipe (directly next to the one on top, not the metal one) apparently broke and someone tried to jbweld it back on, what does that port specifically do?

here is a pic from the diagram indicating which nipple was broken/leaking, it's the far end of the charge relief solenoid (H in the full diagram) and it looks like it runs to the secondary turbo outlet, anyone know how the system would act with an intermittent connection?

I'm having a similar issue, but I thought I was getting boost creep at 5,500 RPM b/c boost jumped from 10 to ~12 psi.

needs more track time

Thanks for the clarification. That is not what I am experiencing.
Mine just drops to ~8 psi at transition makes some venting sound at transition and
then seems like it very quickly oscillates 2-3 times from ~8-10 psi for a split second,
then I get full normal 10 PSI boost,
then around 5500 RPM I get ~12-13 PSI.
Good luck troubleshooting!

Back to basics

Ok, I've had this problem before and with help from the forum diagnosed the problem to be this. Now it happened again and I changed the solenoid again and its not going back to regular boost. The secondary is still venting out all boost out the CRV. Could something else be wrong, or did I just not put the solenoid on correctly? Does it take a while for the Power FC to realize everything is connected properly so it can boost again (I replaced the solenoid on Wednesday)?
