So I just wanted to add a thread here because when I was researching this there was little info about it (none on here that I saw).
So while I was driving every so often (usually when it was cold out) all the electronics in my car would start turning off and on if I say turned the wheel, or...
Check around your oil filter housing by the oil cooler. I just found a leak from the gasket on mine. I was seeing random drips though, but only when it was sitting and below 30 outside, but it leaked about a quart over a month. If I did not park on a hill it would have just pooled on the splash...
Yep slowly, but surely haha. I'm actually gen pu haha 2012. I did a little research and couldn't find people with gen pu's that leaked, but like I said car is getting old. Seems to really only happen when its cold outside, but its leaking nice little drips on my drive way overnight.
Just a quick update. I adjusted preload one full turn and my boost is at 13.4 PSI now. Took off the intercooler to see what is going on a bit. I broke loose the bolt to the left of the long one, put a mark on the long one and turned it towards the front of the car until the mark was back on top...
The k04 did, cst 4 is not. I did a boost leak test and I could hear the turbo dumping pressure back into the intake once I got up to 10 psi. I’m positive I just need to adjust the preload, but it’s been so freaking cold haha.
Yeah I guess its worth a shot just wondering if other people have had to do it? Kind of wish the install manual told me to double check it ha. Hopefully, its not too hard to get to on the car because pulling the turbo was kind of a pain.
Ok Justin told me to adjust the preload on the wastegate. I guess my logs looked Ok to him. Is this a common thing? I didn't mess with it and I assume its set at the factory to be 14-17 psi.
It does settle down to around 5 after driving for a bit on the highway, but then lives 3-7 a bit. Then when I get on it it'll be at 7 for like 1-2 sec then 0 to 7-5-3.
I went ahead and got a cheap boost tester. I figure one can never have enough tools. I'll test this weekend. I've sent my...
car drives pretty good to be honest. The EBCS (waste gate duty) sticks on 0 the entire time I’m driving. It blips to 1 when I start it up. So that and the fact Justin told me I should see 12-17 psi led me to believe it’s just a spring pressure MAP. I guess I’m just worried because I’m not...
I installed a cst4 turbo and have a base tune from Justin at Freektune. My other mods relevant mods:
Accessport, Autotech fuel internals, Corksport MAP, jbr EGR delete, and jbr aluminum, tru 3.0 intake.
My base map I assume is set for spring wastegate pressure which I was told was 12-17 psi...
