Hi all i took the rs for a drive today for the first time since fitting the zvh all fine other than its over boosting big time no matter if the bleed valve is all the way in or out.
what could be the problem?

 

Take it you have deleted the amal valve? Possible wrong adjustment on actuator? Is it mfi or efi?

 

The turbo set up is just as it was on my cvh. Its on mfi mate. Could the actuator or wastegate be stuck?

 

Try adjusting the actuator, and while the arms off check the wastegate moves freely as it would have to be stuck closed to overboost

 

Ok will do thanks, is it shorter or longer for less boost?

 

Out mate, start off ith the actuator wound in so it needs pulling onto the wastegate arm (approx half a hole) and then start by winding it out turn by turn and see if lowers the boost, make sure the actuator is not seized either as this won't allow the wastegate to open

 

Cool, will get on it when I get some time. Thanks for the info

 

No problem mate good luck

 

have you checked the hoses arent split or popped off

 

Would have thought with a split or loose hose he would have lost boost and have running probs

 

The boost pressure opens the waste gate to control boost. Take the hose off and see what happens - max boost the turbo can put out.

Cheers.

 

this is true but only if were talking about the pipe between the turbo and actuator but I would still expect running problems at idle

 

vac hose had split where it joins the turbo, not over boosting now but need some adjusting as its only boosting to half a bar now.

 

Glad you got it sorted mate, id get it set up now though as bleed valves are a bit dodgy

 

ive taken the bleed valve out and gone from actuator to turbo. yeah i'm just ironing out the few small issues then its off to power engineering for the 5th injector controler box to be wired in and a full set up. o and need to upgrade my gearbox first lol

 

glad i could help mate
