Boost controller issue or wastegate?
99 GST
- 3" full turboback
- 14b turbo
- VRspeed FMIC
- VRspeed 2G jpipe
- Greddy RS BOV
- FP Intake pipe w/ Amsoil filter
- hallman MBC
- walbro 255
- stock injectors
- Fuel lab pressure regulator
I bought a new 14b turbo and it didn't come with a wastegate, so i probably made a mistake by buying somebodys off of ebay. But the issue im having is that it doesn't seem like the boost controller is working, or the boost gauge is fd or the hose for the boost gauge is kinked. I have the 1 hose coming off the boost controller connected to the wastegate, and the other hose tee'd off on the BOV vacuum hose that goes to the intake manifold. The MBC is adjusted all the way negative, and the prosport boost gauge is showing the max boost on the gauge.
So is the boost gauge bad or hose kinked somewhere? or is the wastegate made for a bigger turbo and has an automatic opening for over 30psi? That obviously wouldn't make since, because i would think i would hit fuel cut if i were boosting anything over 20psiish with stock injectors.
