#95553, "Finally turboed and running a bit low!!!!!"


          

Ok first off, I would like to say that I actually finished installing everything that I needed to and the turbo is running. But now I have a problem. The boost/vaccuum gauge reads 25 vacuum and only 2 psi of boost. I have a 14b which is internally wastegated and I just don't know where the problem is. I mean I should be running 8psi with that wastegate. This is what I I have checked so far just the boost gauge line and exhaust leaks. I don't know where I am going wrong. I mean the bov sounds off and everything. So I know I am getting boost but just not the level that I should be. Also my car hesistates when it is in second gear and I try to wot it. Not sure at this point so any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Those were my thoughts as well...doesn't sound like he has a missing link/voltage clamp hooked up for a FCD.

Well I have a fcd hooked up. I went the rought of making my own. I don't think that I calibrated it wrong. I mean I turned the compessor down to like 2 or 1 psi and tried to calibrate it that way. If you have a better way of setting one of those up please let me know. I am up for suggestions. I don't think it is the wastegate but it may be. I deff think that it is the fcd because I can't even reach the right boost for the wastegate to actually open. But I will try what you guys suggested and look at those two items.
