Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I read it, but I sometimes see 15 lbs now, so Idk what I'd be lookin for in that case.  Funniest response I've ever seen.  Lmao!!!  Glad I read this tho.  Lol

[phil_long]

Steve's response is priceless.  It shows that he cares about the buick.  Lol.  SO, if the needle goes BEYOND 15 lbs, LIFT.  Lol.

[Steve Wood]

   You have a point there

[Steve Wood]

yes, lift!  without the solenoid, the turbo has nothing to tell it to stop making boost so about the time you begin to feel, "Oh, S***!", take your foot off the gas.

If it does not make more boost, then we have to think harder.

[phil_long]

Lol.  Cool

[Scoobum]

Lol.  Cool

Phil...listen to Steve when he says lift...or you'll overboost it just like I did last year. It only takes a split second for the boost to go through the roof. I overboosted it so bad it twisted the DS head. You can here my girlfriend in the background yelling "what the hell was that?!" I told her it was the sound of five hundred dollars. Funny stuff.

Damn!!!!  How did that end up happening though?  Im sure you didn't just pull the hose and floor it like my dumbass was about to do.  Lol.  Thanks for extra tip though

[Scoobum]

I run mine tuner style...a hose from the port to the actuator...and the hose collapsed. KABOOM!

[phil_long]

Within the time you JUST responded, I just did the test!! Scariest thing I have ever experienced!!  The friggin boost shot up to 20 lbs in less than half a second!!  Damn.  Scantool showed 886 with no knock but i lifted ASAP. Lol.

[Scoobum]

Ya' got some info for the boys. Stick around...and they'll give ya' your next course of action.

[phil_long]

Fa sho!!

[Scoobum]

Fa sho!!

While you're waiting...watc h me beat the snot outta this Mustang. This is a 16 lb run with Erics chip on the default settings. Steve and I were talking behind the scenes about low gear tuning...and how rich Erics chip is in low gear. Don't believe me?...watch the black smoke out the tail pipe in low gear.
 
Brad 1st run

one of these days, you gonna have to get that car leaned down so it can make some power...but, be nice to get the valve springs replaced first.

Sounds like the wastegate solenoid has died.  Can't get the originals anymore unless you can find a used one.  I was thinking Mike Licht at Full throttle speed was selling a replacement solenoid.

the alternative is to use a manual boost controller which will make it spool faster...or simply run a hose from the actuator to the compressor housing and shorten the wastegate rod to set the boost as Brad mentioned above....tuner style...downsi de to this is a bit slower spool but that might not be a bad thing on the street.

[phil_long]

that sucks.  where would i look for a manual controller?  Thanks for the help.  Valve springs are going in soon.  My car is pig rich in 1st gear for sure, but it leans out afterwards.  I didnt see a way tune for FP in all gears BUT 1st.  just has a 1st gear only setting.

Erics instructions are here. You won't be able to tune low gear without PL or DS. Guessing isn't good.
