Any suggestions on a possible problem
Any suggestions on a possible problem I just got my sts kit hooked up tonight. I started the car and reved it to about 2500-3000 rpm and the boost guage would only fluctuate betwen -20 and -15 NO BOOST. It didnt sound like it was spooling up either. I havnt tapped the BOV into the brake booster (? do I need to tap it into the big hose coming off the booster or is there smaller ones) yet so I am hoping that is the problem. I did have my turboxs boost controller all the way to the negative so i could get some boost reading to adjust it. Maybe im overreacting, but can some one help me.
thanks
thanks
Was the car moving, or were you just revving it in the garage? The turbo will not build boost unless it is under a load. Get it fully installed and then take it for a ride.

I didn't know that. I guess that the turbo has to be spinning since there is exhaust coming out of the tail pipe

You tapped into the booster itsself? not hoses coming off of it?

Hey ya gota start somewhere!! Just dont be gettin on it in the middle of traffic for the first time. Just go to some back road where there are no cars (or pedestrians) and give it hell. Start off easy cause it will supprise you if you've never been in a turbo car before!!

Phillymu, don't take others comments the wrong way. Just understand that a 550 hp n/a car is very different than a 550 hp turbo car. And, since your used to driving a powerful car, you should be much more concerned with making sure you don't break something. I would suggest doing a search for the STS kit and read a lot. Trust me...there is a lot to learn.
