ok guy's it's the retarded GT 4 owner again from across the waves
 any ideas what happened, by boost seems to be all screwed up if i floor the gas, an go up through the gears the car goes but doesn't kick like it used to i don't think, and boost gauge only hits 0.3kg...... if i'm lazy(i don't do this alot) and put my foot down in a high gear (say 4th only going at 50kph) the boost starts to kick in and and i can show as much as 0.7kg on the gauge.... is this normal, 0.3kg seem real low! what have i broken ???? any ideas would be a great help, thanks Pete the popstar --------------------  Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |

well the good news is that you didnt break anything!
check for any boost leaks, loose holse clamps, etc... around the turbo, intercooler and instake manifold. im not used to reading boost in kg...only in psi and sometimes bar. so i dont know if the boost readings you are reporting are normal or not. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Might be in limp mode. Pull the engine codes and see.
Otherwise I agree with Largos. Check for leaks. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

Where did you install your boost gauge? If you take off the wrong lines, you're readings will be messed up.
-------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
