Turbos cool and when Turbos Hot
Hey everyone...
I noticed something odd: about my FD3
When my car is cool. like after initial warm up
and a little bit of driving.. My turbos work great.
Gets to 10psi-8-10..
But after driving it for a while, when you
know its HOT..
At WOT it only seems to get to like 8Psi or so..
What causes that?? Is there some safety feature
that preventing it from getting full boost?
or something else may be wrong???
I currently got SMIC, DP, CB, INTake...
Anyone know how to remedy it?

White, you might have a bad solenoid. Do a search for heat+solenoid. There were a couple members here who found solenoids that were fine when cool, but after being heated up wouldn't open fully. That might be your problem, also you don't have an ecu listed in your mods, but you should be getting more than 10lbs of boost, so maybe you have some sort of boost restriction? Maybe a pill, or valve or something? More info is needed if that is the case.
