Probably cause your ecu is trying to protect the motor! Stock turbo can't go past 13, at 14 it will blow the turbo. U got a pretty cheap controller? hence the spikes!

Probably run a few more mod- cooler and turbo back exhaust if u wanna run more than 10, then your ecu needs to be changed or remapped.

U will find the highest boost on redline gear 3!

ok, the turbo won't blow the moment you hit 14psi. i was running my stock turbo on my 33 at 14/15psi for a year and never had an issue. i know people who have run up to 16psi and not had an issue.

as for the ecu stopping it from going any higher, that isn't right either. the ecu has protections in it, but it won't magically stop it going any higher. you can go higher but it will start throwing tantrums. without knowing your setup i couldn't say why it isn't boosting any higher than 13psi. if you still have a stock exhaust then that would explain it, or if you still have a stock cooler, that could also be a contributing factor. or it could be a problem with the controller.

Yeah as mentioned above your ecu wont control boost. your turbo won't blow at exactly 14, could blow at 12 or could last years at 15 it's always a gamble.

Gizzmo controller is not a cheap unit and is a quality bit of gear so i wouldn't worry about that.

the advice to run bigger exhaust and cooler is spot on it never hurts to have more cooling and flow.

Your probably running out of a lot of things, fuel, turbo, spark even.

Try getting your fuel pressure checked, regapping your plugs to 0.8, check your wastegate setting, turbo size?, dump system?

My thought anyway.

just got a brand new walbro fuel pump dont think it would be that

Did you run a separate earth? fi you just replaced your pump and the car is playing up, I'd start there.

PS did it do this before you replaced the pump?

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
