vagcom and boost question

[o3spec]

ok, i did some logging today. i logged '115' and according to vagcom im running 22.6psi and according to my boostguage im running 27psi, boost leak maybe? i keep turning up the wick on my mbc and cant get anymore then 22psi but yet my boostguage goes higher and higher! im guessing vagcom is reading the boost levels at the MAP sensor correct? and my boost guage reads boost at the fpr correct? so where is the boost leak? ive pressure tested numerous times! i know i have a leak at my mechanical cam chain adjuster gasket but thats after the map sensor. so whats up. by the way i ran two 3.55 fats and two 3.6 fats runs today.

Your car's gonna explode! I'll give you 100 for it.

[o3spec]

LOL! thanks for the support

[goohead]

vagcom at sea leave only see 22psi your at you map sensor limit your boost gauge is the accurate reading

[goohead]

map sensor limit is 2500mbar

[o3spec]

ok sooooo im really running 27psi then? i just logged 31 and my a/f looks good and i logged 20 and 21 and my timing looks good, how is that possible for 93octane?

You're running 27 psi. You're on K04's right? Turn that boost down! haha
As was mentioned, your MAP sensor can't read any higher than 2500mBar. You can run all the boost you want, you'll just have higher CF's and a richer mixture than if you ran a more reasonable pressure (22-23psi).

[goohead]

How is what possiable? That your ecu is trying to compensate as much as possiable? That your injectors from the awe kit and support the airflow of k04 @ 27psi?

yeah and i still run faster and faster fats times! now im down to the 3.4s

Most tweaked stg 3s can run that on 21psi.

[o3spec]

yeah but im ots awe with stock manifolds

[unknowna4]

Manifolds don't do much, but if it ots software without tweaks then that's impressive/scary!

[o3spec]

everything is running pretty safe. aggressive but safe

[The_Jerbel]

Cranking up the boost with a MBC means that it's not an OTS setup

[o3spec]

hahaha yeah i know this isnt a ots giac ecu this is a ecu from marc and im assuming its been tweaked haha it lets me rev to 7500+rpms oh and i found out today that i ran that 3.4fats without a cam posission sensor hahaha now i have to make more pulls jeez!!
