Just one thing though. If i take out the ball and spring wont that mean that ill be running on high boost all the time regardless whether the switch is on or not?

thanks a lot for that mate. Ill take out the ball and spring first thing 2moz.

Hey guys Well it looks like you were dead on the money. I tried it on high boost and it worked everytime. So how do i go about fixing it? Cheers

All hoses are ok. Yeah i have the turbo smart dual stage boost controller. Ill give it a go on high setting 2moz cos its raining like mad right now. The only problem is that my high setting is on like 12psi but i cant use it cos i have stock ecu and fuel cut kicks in. I guess ill set it to the same amount as low and try it. I let you know how i went and if your right BHDave you can let me know the fix. Cheers

Its good to hear u fixed urs but i dont think its my BOV. I had a turbosmart vee port bov but i got defected and had a near new original plumback installed on friday and i still have that turbo problem.

Hey all, Ive got a r33 gts-t with fairly simple mods including: 3" exhaust system, FMIC, dual stage boost controller and aftermarket boost gauge. A couple of weeks ago i found that while i was flooring my car the stock turbo was boosting normally hovering around the 10psi mark but then once i started to accelerate again the turbo wasnt spooling up. I tried flooring it again but the boost gauge wasnt going past 2psi???? After about 5min of normal driving the turbo started to spool up again as per usual but then after flooring it, same story. Any ideas? im thinking maybe the wastegate is sticking open but is there anything i can do to check the problem? I had a look around the engine bay and it all looks ok no leaks or anything. An even stranger thing happen last week, my mate is a detailer at ford so i took the car in there to give it a nice professional wash. I sprayed the engine bay with a cleaner they had and hosed it off with a high pressure hose. On the way home i gunned it to get through a yellow light and noticed my turbo was still spooling so i gave it a few test runs and it worked everytime but now the problem is coming back... thanks for any help.
