Boost don't pass 1,3 bar...

[Rasteirinho]

Hi,

I fitted the Dawes Device i had stored since i installed the 3" turbo back.
However, i cannot make it go over 1,3 bar.

What could it be? Could it be the OE DV leaking?

Any suggestions about how to diagnose the problem?

Thanks,
Pedro

Pedrois the restrictor pill still fitted?

[Rasteirinho]

No, i removed the complete pipe work, from the turbo/actuator to the solenoid, and used a new pipe work...

I will try to test the OE DV today...

as evonut said,

if the restrictor is removed this will limit the boost you can run, put it back and all should be fine.

Are you referring to the restrictor pill from the original piping?

[evonut270]

Are you referring to the restrictor pill from the original piping?yes if its not fitted you wont make higher boost pressures.

[Rasteirinho]

So you mean i should remove the restrictor pill from the original piping and fit it to the custom piping i'm using with the dawes device?

If so, my question is: Should i fit inside the pipe coming from the turbo or inside the pipe coming from the actuator?

Thanks,
Pedro

can you not refit the original pipework?

[Rasteirinho]

I can refit the original pipework but i cannot use it together with the Dawes Device like i want...

I was using the original pipework and the car was running OK, however only making 1,2/1,3 bar...

As i wanted to reach 1,5 bar, i installed the Dawes Device but i cannot make it go over 1,3 bar...

I took the restrictor near the turbo out, when I fitted the 3 port. This restrictor is there as the stock system can only bled so much air off the actuator. If the actuator is working OK, then the boost you can run, is dependant on the amount of air you can bled off, assuming you don't have a boost leek. My DV leaked all ways up and it's well worth swapping for one that is know to be good.
