Boost gauge jumped to 10 psi, but log only shows max of 129kpa (3.7psi)? added MBC
I added the NXS manual boost controller this weekend and set it to what I believe to be around 4/5psi based on me blowing into it...so I'm driving with it and get on a hill in second to test where it is for adjustment and it jumps to 10 and sortof "dies out"...like hit a rev limiter or something. I looked at my logs afterwards and the top reading is about 3.7 at 4330 rpm, spark angle dropped from 37 to around 19 at this event. My boost gauge is tied into the same line coming from the front of my manifold as the MS map sensor. I'm confused. Any ideas? Also, anyone know why my boost is not coming on until a high rpm? Thanks.

just happened to me two more times on the way home from work...yeah, foot to the floor getting up on it then it just falls on it's face. well, if it is a boost leak how can my boost gauge register that much more than my map sensor if the signal is coming from the same place? i will probably test the boost gauge and see if I have a boost leak somewhere...I will say that I'm not sure my wastegate is opening all the way-it might be hitting the inside of the downpipe because the arm on the outside doesn't go totally perpendicular to the exhaust flange so maybe flow is being restricted? I'm also on the stock exhaust still with orig cat so maybe there is a restriction and that does something to the boost? I don't know.
