i have the star stage 2 and when boosting it only hits 3psi ... the delta gate has a sticker on it that has a number 7 on the top and i thought that meant it had a 7psi spring in it ? am i right or wrong or what should i check?

where do you have the wastegate signal line conected to?? the compressor side of the turbo??? you will get some pressure drop through the intercooler, meaning just because you have a 7psi spring does not mean you will get 7 psi boost. If you want to get 7 psi of boost you could get boost controller (this is what I did). Also double check for boost leeks, couplings, hose clamps, bov.

yea check for boost leaks. Build a boost leak tester.

no boost leaks, i have checked like 20 times. the line is running from the wastegate to the turbo. and it seems as if my BOV is a pussy ... its not loud like it should be and its a blitz

Oops. I didnt look at who posted this. My recommendation to you is:




GO AWAY.

arent blitz bov's pussys(quiet) anyway

iono much about the delta gate, but if you gots a wastegate spring, you may have a 5psi spring, plus fmic=3-4psi. turn it up with a boost controller imo. maybe they sent u something from a stg1 or somthin. and there is no way your gonna make much pshhhht out of a bov at only 3psi... that isn't much.

i was getting similar, but mine was like 1psi.. so i turned that alleykey screw inside the wastegate in a lil, tighted and boosted to check, rinsed and repeated till i was happy. No boost controller, but i used the boost gauge to monitor.

blitz bovs are made for "sleeper cars." My friend has a blitz bov on his 240 and likes to keep his car secretive for having a sr20det installed...thats why he chose that brand. BUt once hits high rpms then it sounds really good...

uh. just like other bovs....just be careful not to spool too much, or else it will be loud. duh! i thought that was general knowlege.

so i can tighthen the allen screw in the wastegate without messing anything up? and what do you mean, you recleaned it ?

I had the same exact problem, a boost controller did the trick for me. It would go no higher than 3 psi before but now I have it set to 8 psi.
