28191, Why am I getting boost spike?
Posted by bonecupidboze, Aug-04-02 09:08 AM
I have a Star Stage 1 kit in my 96 Eclipse RS and have been running 5lb boost with a 7 lb spring for over half a year now but one day I started noticing a difference in the performance of my vehicle. I notice that I was hitting 6 to 7 psi and my engine temperature would also go up past half way if I were to push the car. I'm not sure what's wrong but think it could be the Wastegate that is seizing up or so. I decided to adjust the adjustment screw from the Wastegate 1/4 turn down and 1/4 turn up but that didn't solve nothing. I would sometimes get boost spike as well. I checked the vacuum hoses but they seem fine so all I'm asking is HELP!! Thank you anyone
