Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

Everything fixed itself somehow during a mountain road drive.

CEL went off. I noticed afrs dipping into the 12's for the first time under some light throttle (compared to wot, not DD)
and decided to go for it. VOILA! 11.5 at wot and felt great!

Don't ask me how I did it, i'm not sure. It may ...

Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

Oh, off topic, installed the ipd upper torque mount bushing as mine had completely separated.

Feels so good man. Starting and shifting is so much smoother and less back and forth, and i dont feel like i suck at stick! haha

Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

HA! I had the idea to check the CBV before i read this.

Still looks new, aside from grime on it, which i cleaned up and then reinstalled.

Re configured the mbc and its now much better, tuned into a steady(ish) 15psi.

I decided to leave it after removing the cat and replacing my resonator (this ...

Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

So, there are no hints as to what this could be. Its exactly as if I have a 10psi tune and everything is working perfectly

Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

My dog ate my code-scanner soooooo.

Also, i was referring to the afrs.

For example, if there was a boost leak and the ecu thought it was seeing 18psi, but only saw 10, the afrs would be in the 10s.

Or if the wastegate wasnt functioning properly. (which im suspecting)

Re: Won't boost past 10psi, low power off boost

No codes. And thats the thing, I've traded one problem for another.

The 13.7 means (to me) its software, and not hardware. Otherwise if it thought it was at a much higher psi, it would be much richer. Correct?

Thanks for the help.

Oh, is it possible im in limp mode somehow?

Re: Horrid amount of codes, poor boost development

Codes came back. Almost all of them (7) but i think the last just didnt trip, and i haven't checked since. Looks like the fault codes are, in fact, indicating faults.
