so its been like this for a while now, wen i boost it, WOT, my boost gauge read passed my target 16 or 18psi depends wat map i have on it, it just keeps goin to 20psi almost 25. it doesnt spike to those numbers just keeps goin up. and no cels are thrown after. ????

so is it my boost gauge?
or is my tune off?
over boost?

i think this might have caused my cracked ringland.

You should try pulling some logs just to double check. It also could be boost creep.

 

sounds like boost creep to me
check the logs on the AP

 

Are you using a mechanical or electrical Boost gauge? What brand is it ?

 

boost gauge is defi boost gauge, the green lit up ones.

 

Edited because everyone thinks my replies are a type of trolling!

 

electric

if he is tuned by tim I'm gonna have to go with aelectric boost gauge.

 

Defi only makes electric..
So you have a manual boost controller set to 18 ?

 

no i have no manual boost controller..

yes i have a defi electric boost gauge

my tunes map is set at 18psi

 

How about the gauge, does it start out at 0 ? with key on engine off where does the needle rest at ?

 

i believe it starts below 0 but i think all the numbers below 0 is for vacuum?? and when engine off its at 0

but oil press is all the way down and it makes a really annoying beep sound until i turn the car on again or take the key out fully.
