Help Screamer Probblem!

[sleeper_13]

how much does a screamer/dump pipe put up the psi????? i had the stock dump pipe on until this. i drove around with the screamer on for a day and then the next day i hit the limiter and the car would not hit boost at all and it made some rooted diesel tractor noise coming from the screamer......could it be a problem with the wastegate getting stuck on something???? the weird thing is i drove round in it for a little bit and it fixed it self. hit boost prety high...well higer than usual....should be at about 1 bar and full boost was at about 1.3 bar which it never did before this screamer (not stock turbo by the way)........

It doesn't alter boost - that is the boost controllers job.

And ye - of course its going to sound like a tractor - i assume you've put a dump with screamer on a internally gated turbo... and it's leaking which is what all of the cheap ones do.

yeah internal wastegate.......no doesnt have the normal screamer sound....well it did but then yeah i hit the limiter and it shat itself and its like the wastegate is snagged on something

Well sad to say it - but you wasted your money by the sounds of it.

sounds like the gate isn't sealing correctly, which isnt a surprise, 9 outta 10 int gate screamers do that... it hurts boost build/response and sounds shit.

Leave screamer pipes for actual external gates!

Nothing worse than hearing an internally gated car with a screamer pipe going absolutely nowhere on boost but making a whole lot of noise..

actually not making any boost haha.....but when making boost pulls out sum descent numbers so she goes somwhere.
