Hi
im pretty new to the whole turbo world.
I have a Series 2 R33 GTST with pod filter, catback exhaust and turbotech boost controller.
I am running 12 psi and decided to perform a modification that was feature in the latest High Performance Imports magazine.
The modification involved cutting out 1 inch of the rubber intake pipe and installing a metal pipe in place of the rubber that was removed. This was done to ensure the rubber pipe stays all the way open during boost. According to HPI under high boost the rubber intake pipe can occassionally suck in on its self during high amounts of boost resulting in lost power.
Anyway.
As i am driving and hold my foot flat to the floor i hit 13psi and the car just backs off all of a sudden it scares the shit outta me.
What have i done??
Is this the wastegate opening??
I know the boost im running isnt safe, but if only hit 13psi twice and the car has lost all power both times. At the moment im trying to drive it on vacuum until my mechanic down tunes the boost to 10psi.
Does anyone know what i have done wrong??
Thanks
