just installed turboxs stg4?
now the car runs great i guess except for the fact of over boosting to around 26psi i have it set to turbo xs stg 4 parameters and i went to test it and well **** the car jumped really fast and then fell on its face (it hit fuel cut i guess) but i seen my boost gauge that stops at 20psi buried well under 20psi my old turbo was leakin oil and the intake side of the turbo the rubber boot is really soft
Can somone help me or tell me what could be the prob dont appear to be any vaccum leaks but i dont like that rubber boot on how soft it is
its a Vf34 and not a vf30 but turbo xs said it shouldnt mean that much diffrence from there map, sti injectors fuel pump full exhaust
also i belive there map is for a top mount intercooler i have the stock one for the momoment

there's a set of hoses going from the compressor to the wastegate on your turbo. were you supposed to use the set that comes with the VF34 or re-use the hoses that were on your stock turbo?

I'm guessing you're pretty pissed at what happened lol. I would be too. I would hate to have all those nice parts and not be able to use them. I hope you figure out what's wrong.

i check the abc i also intalled my turboxs manual boost controller same thing happened under a load it spiked to and over 20psi(what my gauge goes up to)...
turboxs says it will goto 18.5 which is nice. turboxs also says that the stg 4 is for a vf30 and a tmic i have the stock intercooler and a vf34 would that make a diffrence
