#106329, "Trouble building boost past 10psi"


          

I've had my car down for about a year while I tore out alot of crap and replaced with some new stuff (mostly electrical components, nothing that would affect the engine/turbo). I did replace the craptech w/ an SFMU and new SS lines, but other than that... everything is the same.

So anyways, I took it to the dyno last night to tune, and for the life of me could not get the car to push more than 10psi. It would raise up to around 12psi then fall back down and hold at around 10psi. The turbo is being way overworked, and I've never heard the bov so loud before, but it just doesn't seem to be getting into the engine. Completely took off the mbc and opened the wastegate with no change.

Outside of leaks in IC pipes and vacuum lines, should I be checking anything else out? I couldn't find any leaks last night while I was there and I'm going to tear into it, but I'm here wondering if it could also be the wastegate or bov? Any suggestions?

DSM Registry:

Setup in a nutshell:
8.8:1 block, 3 angle valve, port/polish
440cc injectors, Vortech SFMU, Walbro Pump
Apexi SAFC, Missing Link, FFWD mbc (got Hallman mbc on the way)
HRC S16g, Greddy Type-S Bov, Starion FMIC

Should be running 16psi,
