I had the hi/lo boost bypassed 2 or 3 weeks ago but only fitted my boost gauge during the week, managed a maximum of 6 PSI through all gears! Thats more like lo boost to me as hi its supposed to be at least 9/10 PSI stock.. the only mods are a decat pipe fitted an rx7 intercooler.
Ive checked for leaks and all pipes/fittings are tight and secure, but from doing a search all i can seem to find is that without the VSV or boost controller fitted, the turbo is controlled by the actuator now and therefore the spring pressure in the actuator.. So what i imagine is when the turbos generating 6psi the wastegate is opening and controlling boost at this maximum pressure level as its all what the worn out spring can only handle?
does this make sense? and if so, will buying an adjustable actuator fix the problem? (already got it coming anyway!)
Thanks,appreciate the help
