but even then it will only do 24psi, so would this be the cause of my wastegate not being strong enough? i couldnt tell you what it is or what spring is in it as it was the car when i bought it, just know it says 38mm
if its not the wastegate then surely it cant be the turbo
im just stuck now as the car isnt punhy anymore, screamer pipe isnt opening either
Is your boost gauge accurate ? Does the engine run fine ?
Have you changed anything prior to this problem occurring ?
Is the controller plumbed correctly ?
Is the solenoid working ?
Is all plumbing clear and free from blockages ?
And can you explain exactly what you mean by the section I highlighted ? Ive no idea what "proper" pipes are.
But seemingly if that's the only change that has been made...they cant be that "proper"
