i installed my new gauges and it says im in safety boost this could be right as i have never felt my zed was that quick. i have no ecu codes so im stuck :headvswal

Probably boost leak...what boost is it saying ?

 

although make sure you do an ecu test after you have driven the car, without turning it off inbetween.

 

p.s - Judging by your sig pic - I think you were the one that left JAE with myself (in wifes silver NA), Southwestzmech (white TT - going sideaways at Roundabouts) and his dad (Black TT), and drove with us for the first couple of miles ?

you didnt bring yours then? my boost said 9.5 to start with, when i took it for a spin after putting the clocks in. then on the way home i floored it after a 20min drive and it said 7-7.5psi

Just because your car is underboosting it aint a gaurantee of safety boost or if in safety of getting error codes if your problem is intermittent

Sorry I cant help more

 

Good safety boost indicator

some hoses that comes with gauges are crap and in heat nip up

remember the heat if its to hot it may retard the timing and chuck the car in to safety mode,take it out on a cool morning and check then,if this is the case you can either check the det sensor for a break in the circuit,as your running boost jets and the wastegate actuators are connected the only way is to bypass the circuit via fitting a resistor inbetween the wires it will then tell the ecu all is well,do a search on how to,or if i see ya il give you a hand,failing that you could fit a bost controller and disconnect the wastegate actuators,but check the above first,good thing with controllers,if it is to hot you can ajust boost rather than having one level of boost which is either on/off non controllable.

 

greg

would of thought with standard boost (9.5psi ) heat soak wouldnt be a problem, im gonna fit dual intake temp gauges to check mine all the time now as im running 14/15 psi

do you think i should take my zed to someone to set it up correctly like john dixon (if he would) or some one else

john dixon did mne top bloke! and good coffee. plus loadsa free info on anythng you care to ask him. set my boost cont up and did the chip
