I'm not too sure what's going on, but I wanted to see if anyone had some input on possible causes. I am running a TD05-18g turbo with a UTEC for em, and of course the supporting mods. The problem is I can't turn the boost up past about 1 bar. I increased the boost values on the UTEC like crazy, with minimal, if any, change. Same for the bleeder valve. Kept opening it with no change. Any advice?

 

Man i don't know if it matters but are you using the stock hoses between the wastegate actuator and the positive side of the turbo? Pretty much the stock T of hoses ?

Or could it be that the wastegate needs to be adjusted?? Good luck w/ the touble shootin man.

 

Yep, runing the stock hose with stock t. I think it's a problem with the wastegate, but I have no idea of how to adjust it.

 

1) i couldv'e sworn the stock hoses to the stock T was bad??? Do you still have the factory boost controler connected w/ the hoses in anyway? You had it like this before right w/ the AUX boost controller hooked up in line w/ the turboXS bleed valve right or no?

2) That arm coming from the wastegate actuator when relesed from the swinging arm (the arm is released from a cottor pin)is able to spin either direction so that you can a adjust boost i think. Hmm i could be wrong i'm not totally sure? Your gonna have to search on that one.

 

It's set up with the stock T, then with the UTEC bleed valve tee'd off after that, as they recomend. I better search around some more.

 

Hey Ryan if you wanna try something, run a hose from the positive side of the turbo to the wastegate actuator, that should run the max amount of that the actuator puts out. Usually 4-6 psi, just to see if its a boost problem or a tune problem. What do you think?

 

dude, .... you gonna use that mbc I gave you or not???


I'm having other issues with my s13, ... you should stop by Mike's today and we can help each other out.

 

I got it working. I had the hoses reversed. I'm such a nOOb. Got on the street and promptly hit 22psi Whoops. Hey Sean, I'll try to give you a call in the next couple of days, sorry I didn't get to stop by the other day, I got veto'ed.
