osso Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I went to Bluewater last saturday for a spending spree and i noticed that whenever i was driving in 5th or 6th gear at around 3000rpm putting pedal to metal ... I would boost to a max of 0.7bar and the rpm wouldnt increase, unless i wacked it down to 3rd or 4th gear to increase the rpm and back quickly into 5th ~ 6th gear which would then boost up to 1bar.. Is this normal? seems strange as to why i couldnt accelerate and obtain max boost in 5th or 6th gear unless i down shifted a gear or two.. Anyone else noticed this? if you think about it, when u put pedal to metal in 1st or 2nd gear, you can easily get up to 1bar before the second turbo kicks in.. why cant u do this in the higher gears? could it be that there wasnt enough pressure in the pressure tank while in the high gears to open the some of the actuators?

Wez Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Think this is something to do with turbo 2 pre spool when on the standard sequentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I thought that 3000 rpm was the dip where the second turbo was pre spooled? I know when im in 5th or 6th gear and i floor it at around 3000 rpm it is very laggy and only boosts to 0.75 but if i keep my foot in the revs slowly go up and hit 3800 rpm and the second turbo comes online and it boost up to 1.05.

supRo Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I had similar problems. Sounds like a leaky boost pressure tank. Double check your hoses and IC pipe too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
