strange boost and late transition
I also posted this at nopistons, so I apologize if you've read it twice now...
Here's what I get at WOT in 3rd
0-5500 rpm: boost steadily decreasing from 13psi to 10psi
5500 rpm: 5 psi
5500 rpm-redline: 6psi
With the high initial boost, I'm thinking that the wastegate or charge relief might be the problem. The low secondary could be just a leak somewhere, but the late transition is very confusing. Anyone experience a similar problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
(my mods: intake, smic, cb)
By the way, I have run many tests on the precontrol system and it is working fine.
I have also read the information here:
http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-7/rx7stuff.htm
which was very useful, but did not address my specific problem

Might the fact that I live at 7000 ft above sea level affect the transition point?
Can anyone think of anything that might affect the transition point?
(I have the stock ECU)
