dneufeld Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 well i fixed a bunch of issues since my last post but anyways here are the engine specs to start. EA82T, Spyder intake, 87.5 xt wiring harness, K26 turbo charger, custom uppipe, external wastegate, and an intercooler. now for my problem my car wont seem to boost i can get to 2psi tops in first and second gear WOT. in second at WOT it seems to stumble just a little bit. i have checked for exhausts leaks (stethascope style) and came up with nothing. when sitting still and revving the turbo sounds like it wants to spool fine (not siezed) i have checked the wastegate and it seems fine i even unplugged it to see if it was opening to soon and it still only boosted to 2psi vac at idle(1000rpm) - 16lb/hg vac off throttle - 22lb/hg fuel pressure at idle - 30psi fuel pressure WOT - 36psi i am going crazy trying to figure this one out!!, if you have any ideas i'll take them!!!!! thank you!

subiemech85 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 blame the gauge! isn't it supposed to be inches of mercury :cool: stock turbo system with wastegate line removed will easily do 25+ psi on regular gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dneufeld Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 i wish it was just the guage but acceleration screams no boost, lol. its like a damn snail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 are you 100% sure the turbo spins freely? have you tried pressurizing the intake tract to see if it leaks or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Maybe whoever sold you the engine overheated it and didn't tell you. That happens sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dneufeld Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 the turbo spins quite nicely (no play whatsoever) i havent pressurized the intake but i have checked for leaks with carb cleaner and didnt come across anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
