11046, Boost problem that HRC couldnt explain? Posted by z1pp0, Oct-23-01 12:51 PM Rarely but everyonce in a while the car will barely boost at all. 90% of the time i get 5lbs no problem. But every once in a while the car will only hit about 1lb of boost under WOT at 4k-5k rmps and when i lift off the gas instead of the normal rapid air sound (tsss, tssss, tsss) i only get one soft woosh from the bov. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? I have checked all IC Pipes, All Vacuum hoses and exhaust leaks, any ideas?

Is the cotter pin in your wastegate on the exhaust housing? If so, it might be something wrong with the flapper. -Jeff 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T'd http://gs.dsmpower.com

11049, RE: Boost problem that HRC couldnt explain? Posted by EvuLFleA, Oct-23-01 02:00 PM Wouldnt the boost be more than 5 if the wg was stuck? Still being designed but worth a look! www.extreme420a.com

11051, RE: Boost problem that HRC couldnt explain? Posted by z1pp0, Oct-23-01 04:38 PM Sounds good, I will check it out, here is a another clue: the bov never makes that sound no matter how much boost I am at, sound i think it could be a problem with it. Any more ideas?
