  • What is your egt

  • It's a turbonetics T-70 ball bearing turbo. The EGT will creep into the 1700s on a 1/4-mile run, but are typically much lower than that.

  • sounds broken

  • so good

  • k onda con eso

  • @crazy8sx08 It's the stock 200-R4 auto.

  • @boost4fun did u keep the car an auto or swap in a 5 speed?

  • @Exticy08 Or just give the engine better supporting mods for the turbo, So it can move more air...

  • change to a higher psi BOV spring or rase the psi rate if you have an ajustible BOV

  • @EviL80iE

    I accidentally deleted your original comment - sorry. An improperly sized turbo coupled with a lack of a BOV was what was causing the problem. The turbo was very efficient and was making a lot more boost than the engine could ingest at lower RPMs. The pressurized air backs up in the intake tract and causes the surge. A BOV fixes it by venting boost when there is a big enough difference in the boost between the intake tract and beyond the throttle body.

  • @boost4fun hey thanks for ur reply, so its fair to say a faulty boost controller and or BOV can cause ur car to vent boost wile the throttle is open?

  • @EviL80iE

    No, it was too much turbo at part throttle. It was fine at WOT. A Godzilla BOV fixed it.
