Boost readings off OBDLink

Posted

Hey there I just hooked up an OBDLink to my 24v and noticed some strange boost readings. At idle I’m getting 12.4 and at full throttle about 22.4. Is this the app not reading boost correctly or should I be checking my map and wastegate? It’s an 01 HO

    I get it. My fuel pressure is on the A pillar still. Going to move it one day. There other options and I like this better.

    Well, no wonder you blew the intake manifold gasket!!    - John

    I want to see my gauges up close so I don't miss anything  old pictures but still same.

Our waste gate does NOT reduce the pressure of the intake tract.   (there are systems that do, ours does not)

Our waste gate diverts potential energy from the exhaust drive pressure away from the drive side of the turbine.  (our waste gate basically reduces drive pressure)

    I have, in the past, completely blocked off my wastegate boost reference hose and blown the gate open with exhaust drive pressure. Exhaust drive pressure will absolutely assist in opening the gate.

    If the drive pressur is high enough to overcome the holding pressure of the acutator yes it will open the waste gate. But for testing purposes all you need to do is presurize the actuator.

     

    I would think something is engineered into the system to allow for the drive pressure pushing against the waste gate.
