Re: Cant boost over 1.5 bar...

Things that could cause your problem, assuming your turbo isn't bad:
  • boost leak
  • exhaust leak
  • weak or leaking wastegate
  • bad boost controller
How did you not see boost leaks? Did you actually do a boost leak test and listen for leaks and spray couplers and every other mating surface with soapy water?

Replace that cracked gasket with an OEM one. WTF is with making your own gasket? This isn't homemadeturbo.com.

Yes i did do an actual boost leak test like i always do with soapy water at each mating joint. there was no large or small boost leaks.
Making my own gasket is cutting out one that is the same size as the one i have.
Do you or anyone have the part number for the gasket with the 7cm center hole? The oem one is too small and i would rather not have a restriction like that.
