My gauge reads to the arrow on max boost, it seems very accurate and I was wondering if this is a little 'low' ie safety boost?

 

 

Thanks guys and sorry for not posting in technical but it scares me in there LMAO!!

Glen,

 

Looks to me like it's pointing straight at the 0.5kg/cm2 line, which is approx. 7.112psi, which is, safety boost..

Time to run an ECU diagnostic methinks.... I'm betting you'll get a code 34

Strange, but as I thought - safety boost.

 

I have no error codes and the car is not detonating, I have also run ECU diag with no error code. I then removed the connector to the knock sensor (to make sure the ECU would give code 34 and it did)

 

I then bypassed the knock sensor with a resistor to restore code 55 and drove hard boost - still 0.5/ 7.1 on the GReddy thus safety boost.

Fuck it I'll just install my evc4 and bollocks to the ECU.

 

 

Glen - has the car had a boost controller fitted before??? If so, the stock boost solenoids may well have been disconnected hence only safety boost

 

Have a look down the side of the engine towards the turbos and you should be able to see some square black connectors - these are the ones for the stock solenoids - check they are connected

 

CheerZ,
