Low boost scare.....
I was out driving rather spirited today when the car rapidly dropped from .8 bar to .4 bar and would never boost any higher. I adjusted the ReliaBoost in some and still wont boost above .4 bar.
No KLR faults and running fine otherwise. SO I'm thinking the worse...blown turbo. I'm pulling intake and intercooler tubes off , checking everything out when I find the Vac line to the bypass valve has blown off. I popped it back on, This time with a zip tie. Could find nothing else wrong so I buttoned it back up. For good measure, I jacked up the car and wacked the wastegate just in case it stuck open and now the car is back to boosting fine. I'm finding out how touchy these cars can be <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
