high boost

WE3RX7 · 01-25-2009, 09:12 AM

What boost was it running before all of this? Is this the first WOT run with the new turbo/manifold/wastegate setup? I'm betting that the spring is not right in the WG. With an open exhaust, and the port you have that engine will produce a decent amount of boost. 15psi is way to much on a stock S5 turbo though - so I'd avoid WOT runs until you figure this out...

well before the rebuild it was shooting the stock boost, 6psi i believe.

how would you suggest i get to the spring and check it out? would that even be possible with it still on the car?
