I thought you ran low boost?
As in ~13psi

How much boost you running?
What waste gate and spring?

so you made it activate 1 psi before your desired boost pressure? that's a little late isnt it?


again it overboosted 18.5. I am going to put my MBC in to see if it does it also. i'll report back.

it's either the wastegate or eboost2

i went from having my sensitivity level from 20 down to 15 and no more over boost..
boost stays at 17.5 no matter what i do. it'll creep to 18.1 (which i can fix via settings on the eboost2)

the weather is cool so if it done it while it's cool, it shouldn't do it when it's warm.

yeah it keeps the gate closed for longer. but also the gate needs time to operate also, but it'll be interesting to see how it runs.

just data log it?

Pauly: Did the sensitivity setting of 15 solve the over boost issue? I had the same problem this weekend at Sebring. Thanks, Mike

Mike,

Nice dig. Trying to remember what was going on 2 years ago. I remember my wastegate gasket fell and was blocking the wastegate but i think that was later on down the track.

My sensitivity might be quite low. 5-10 i think. When i get home i'll have a look.
