Boost keeps going up

[gpomp]

My boost has been going up everyday.... First I was getting 6 psi, then I got 7 for a few days and today I got 8 psi. What's wrong with my car?

[dsm69]

Your car realizes it’s to slow so it’s making up for it with more boost?

[gpomp]

No, it's still slow at 8 pounds.

You say this like its a bad thing? Do you have a boost controller of any kind? If you do, check and make sure all the fittings are secure and not leaking, both to and from the controller. Thats all I can really suggest. Maybe some of the more turbo knowledgeable guys can give some more comprehensive advice.

[Davetronz]

Yea make sure your MBC isnt like shitting or something....
If not, maybe your car just likes the better weather??
And your PSi is weak

Maybe someone slipped you a bigger turbo one night when you werent looking

J'k. Not sure what could be causing it. Check around the turbo, and the wastegate and the arm and see if anything is loose or like busted i dunno...

[gpomp]

Hrm, looks like I'm getting 9psi. I thought my wastegate was set at 8psi. Hrm, might be my eyes.

weird, maybe something to do with the vaccum line.... are you getting the 8 or 9 psi at redline like b4?

[gpomp]

I floor it in 3rd gear and I get 9.5 psi. I'm pretty sure it's not my eyes this time cuz Benny was in the car with me at the time.

It could be cooler weather, or maybe it's just good old fashioned boost creep. What kind of exhaust setup do you have to go with your turbo?

[gpomp]

Stock DX exhaust. What's boost creep?

[EstoMax]

boost creep is a monster in ur turbo that makes strange things happen to it
max

[Dr. Lightspeed]

When the ait is denser your turbo will make more boost with the same amount of volume. What boost controller are you using.

[gpomp]

Boost controller?

Should I even ask what you are doing for fuel control.

[gpomp]

Some FMU thing.

[gpomp]

Oh, today WOT in 2nd gear, the boost goes up to 9ish and then comes back down to 7...
