Re: 98 volvo s70 t5 wont boost beyond stock psi with ecu tun

Yeah am at 21hg, but that is not an accurate way to determine if there is a boost leak, unless its a major one. You have to preform a boost leak tester which I read is very easy and cheap to make. Which I will do the seconed I have time to play with l. If the mbc works am gonna lose my mind and try ...

Re: 98 volvo s70 t5 wont boost beyond stock psi with ecu tun

To answer your question about spikes, I only get the spike when am wott,it hits 12 really quick and goes right back to ten. Also my boost doesn't hold at a certain Rpm at all, it only holds when am at wott that's it. When I got my HD tcv and tried to follow the instructions for calibration to system...

But umm right know I have a new wg the whole piece just so I can adjust it, mines was totally rusted, and also ordered a mbc too just for the heck of it. Right know am at the point ...

Re: 98 volvo s70 t5 wont boost beyond stock psi with ecu tun

Honestly if your car is boosting 12psi with the tune, then your cbv spring is done, or there is some type of small leak in your vac lines. Those 3psi are bieng lost somehwere with or without the tune. Mabye your wg is out of adjustment but it doesn't seem like a big problem. My advice just stay pati...

Re: 98 volvo s70 t5 wont boost beyond stock psi with ecu tun

Yeah man I don't know what to say, just bad luck, I have done everything possible to figure out why it would not boost 15 Psi. I just ordered a mbc and a new wg actuator, there my last hope. If that doesn't work then I'm going to assume my Turbo is done, and just live. With 10psi. I have tried 90% o...
