umm evomike its becuse you keep reading the same post over and over maybe?

RyanG 06-29-2009 12:07 AM

so did you ever fix your "late boost" issue?

EACH IT 06-30-2009 10:00 AM

Hey blazed, I think we spoke on the blvd the other day near red lion rd. I was in the white wrx.
I would take the car to one of two places.
1) where you bought it
2) someone reliable to tune it correctly.
either way, take your air filter off, plug up your intake, use an air line to one of your vac. lines and listen for an air leak. This may be your only problem. If not, I would still take it to someone who does know more about turbo cars. I am not trying to put your knowledge of autos down, but your car needs something if it isn't getting a smooth power curve.
as previously stated it could be many things or a simple little thing.

And yes, at some point we are all a$$holes on some forum out there, doesn't mean you have to read into it. Just take the car apart and help us help you.

1st thing i would check is to make sure that the car infact has factory lines t'd from the turbo, waste gate and bcs. then confirm that you feel a restrictor pill in there.

Step 2 if the car has a tmic make sure the connection between the ypipe and the turbo are tight.


Step 3 check the connection between throttle body and tmic


after reading your thread again seems like someone messed with the hoses from the turbo to wastegate, i bet they are not stock and i bet there is no restirctor in there.

MuddyREX 06-30-2009 07:20 PM

Ray, what can happen without the restrictor pill?

blazed 06-30-2009 08:52 PM

blazed 06-30-2009 08:54 PM

There really not that bad. You need to learn to make a boost leak tester and then use it. I would also check your exhaust especially the up pipe and downpipe to make sure there not leaking at all. The up pipe especially would cause a ton of lag. I would contact ray@turbotektuning to help get your car straightened out if you can't figure it out and to also get it tuned when its fixed.

There are a lot of ass holes out there especially on forums but don't read into what everyone says. You'd be surprised about how many people on car forums act like they know what there talking about but when you see there car in person its a pos.

My advice is to take your time and learn more about the car and try and fix your own problems. At least then you will know exactly what was done to your car. Maybe you can post up pictures and a modification list so we have a better idea of what was done to your car.

Take that thing down to Ray @ turbotek or Ryan @ Area1320. Its really hard to troubleshoot someone elses mess if you havent worked on the particular car before.

You are only able to reach about 6-7 psi of boost.

and if you have a dp installed will cause you to hit higher boost than 6-7 psi late and slow

oneslowxa 07-01-2009 12:25 PM

are you on a stock turbo?

blazed 07-01-2009 01:08 PM

yeah stock turbo with turbo back exhaust no cat

mesk8in247 07-01-2009 01:48 PM

A lot of good info, i would assume a boost leak as well.
