ok guys another turbo question. I just got done putting a front mount intercooler in my DET. The size is like the Fmax intercooler. Ok here is the problem For some reason the turbo is boosting at 15 psi. Without the HKS EVC EZ on. We didnt do anything else beside the intercooler. Anyone have any ideas???
Check the Vac line from the waste gate. If it's ucked up then it will boost higher....OR maybe you intercooler was leakin boost or your BOV was.....But then again you couldn't turn it down. I say Recheck all your Vac lines.
does it stay at 15 only? or does it go higher... when that happened to me my vac line from the intercooler was disconnected and tricked the wastegate into staying closed...when that happens the evc cant control it until the line is connected
do u have a boost gauge? what does it read...how much negative vac do u have when the car is idling? i know for my det its around -19...if urs is around there then it might be ur wastegate cause the vac leaks from the turbo and intercooler always lets me overboost to whatever and urs is set at 15psi.
Sounds lie the line ging to the waste gate is leaking. The module for the Boost contoller could be creating the leak. To check if its the waste gate just put the original line to the actuator can (use new hose hust to be sure) and give it a try, it shoudl just boost to the factory set limit or so.

Also check the hose for holes, I found that my wastegate hose had a hole burnt into it from the wastegate opening up, if thats the problem use some sort of heat resistant material sleeving from summit or somebody.

I like to thank everyone who replied. The vacum lines were mix up with the BOV. Also There was a hole in the wastegate line. So thank you all.
