Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
OK, what happens when you set the duty cycle to say 60%
There are two duty cycles %'s (A & B) . Set both @ 60% & see what happens.:2cents:
The truboost is set at 35% duty cycle and 9.2 spring pressure...This is for just a six.

Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
You should always have a boost source hose going to the wastegate actuator (unless you really know what your doing and are planning on have the turbo build maximum boost)
How are you controlling boost? Just using the wastegate actuator?

Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
had the same exact issue with my stock turbo'd truck . Take a close look at the turbo condition . my center section is trashed from turbo being abused and having god knows how many miles on it ... my turbo spools fast as hell but stops at 9-10 lbs . rebuilding the turbo right now with a 60-1 wheel and 3'' housing .

Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
Got the cat removed today. ....dialed down the duty cycle and spring pressure....boom it's all back to normal and throttle response is better than ever... just straight piped it and got it welded. .. yay for me.

Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
Not me pal...I tore the turbo apart..blew that compressor side..caked with cooked oil. I was going to say you did the same thing, because my picture of that oil on the exhaust side was exactly what mine looks like...but maybe not.
Bezerker...can you give me some pointers on what you are doing...I'd love to mod the turbo before putting it back in....I can't seem to get a good answer on the 20g setup...seems like the exhaust side needs to be modded too...?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: Turbo won't boost above 10psi
nope gonna see how it does with just the front wheel and housing for now . Just trying to get a little more cfm out the stock turbo for now. Will upgrade back to a 20g14 when i find one cheap .

Code what?
Glad you got it sorted out, the forge gate has a sweet spot for preload. 1/2 turns +/- can help dial in that steady target boost without even using a EBC. I'd consider getting your PCV system up to par running the two valves like stock. It will help keep detonation down by lowering crankcase pressure/contributing to blowby.
Hope you got your turbo fixed up, blowing the seal makes a mess in the exhaust. I'd go ahead and replace the O2 sensor.

Oh yes, stay away from cheap map sensors. Even Berg Werner I've seen fail short lived.
