overboost with mbc fitted - 08/10/2015 17:48
Fitted my Gtec 1 chip, boost gauge and manual boost controller now. I turned the screw all the way out on the boost control to start with and took the coupe for 5th gear run but its overboosting to around 1.4 bar, at that point i lifted my foot off the accclerator. I thought if the screw is all out then it runs base boost but doesnt seem to be.
So came back to disconnect the red and blue hoses from the manual boost controller and join them together to check what the base boost was and its a steady .5 bar
Could this point to a boost leak or faulty boost controller? Ive noticed on the side of this boost controller a small vent hole which wasnt on a previous controllers ive had on my last turbo coupes.
Anyone any suggestion to fix the problem or like to hazard a guess as to what could be causing the overboost?
