Car is otherwise stock.
Car gets 1.4 bar in 3rd WOT on 93 pump gas. Ive read that it might be too high?

wross996tt

for the stock K24s, that is too much. Are you sure it is sustained boost? I would dial it back to 1.2.

BOOSTD

Boost leak. When I had a similar issue, it was due to a hose that got disconnected from my N75 valve.

Daytonaman

Not sure it was sustained boost. When I saw 1.4, I backed off. Haven't looked into it much, don't often get it on. I have had the car for only a year; Thought Softronic would not go past 1.2. Waste gates not dumping (hose leak) or is the flash allowing that much boost..
Thanks for your help.

Likely you have an issue...like a boost leak or stuck WGs.

BOOSTD

Check your N75 and make sure all 3 hoses are connected. That was my issue with similar symptoms.

Daytonaman

I will check my N75. For now, I'll drive slow..At that boost it is like a rocket sled..

blockhed

could be a pinched boost hose also

your car "runs like a rocket". you saw 1.4 momentarily? it's not as if you'll be seeing 1.4 often. i run a 1.2 flash and i see 1.3 only on national holidays. i'm not sure you have a problem. "sustained" is a relative term.

My 2004 996TT x50 pops 1.4 every so often, not sustained, 1.3 to 1.4 is where it usually tops off. This is normal on a X50 per Porsche Mechanic. Do pop off an intercooler hose once from this, seems the clamp was a little loose, no problem since. Have noticed my bailey valves are getting quieter with use, when first installed I sounded like a WRX with no air box.

Could have been a stuck/ sticky wastegate , also The boost can go higher occasionaly especially when driving in cool air .

On a stock X50? No way...get a new porsche mechanic.

crazyfrog

On stock X50 it is 0.9 bar max , 1 bar down hill .

1.4 is too high for a car that wasn't flashed for it.
