i thought that was it but under normal driving as the revs pass 3000 the boost starts to go passed 16 and by the time iam at 4500 the boost is up to nearly 20psi
so i thought it might be amal valve or actuator these have both been changed and i have checked the wastegate is not stuck
if i sef the boost to 16 at 4500rpm then when i floor it at say 2500 i only get 11-12psi ,i have also put the actuator pipe straight to the turbo but no different
it has a -31 collins actuator stage 1 chip and scorpion exhaust but other than that is standard
any ideas!!!!!!
Sounds like your actuator is overloaded. How much preload have you got on it? Should be no more than 3mm ideally but a MAX of 6mm.
