Selective boost leak

[chris.baldwin]

This might sound a bit weird but here goes;

There is no boost leak or decrease in boost when booting it in any gear.
There is no boost leak when slowly accelerating in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 5th

I only start to feel boost leak when im accelerating in 4th which is strange.

I have the following mods aswell;

• Stage 2 Revo Remap
• FMIC
• Blueflame Turboback exhaust
• Forge recirculating dump valve
• Forge tip
• Induction kit

Some of the hoses are samco, it seems like it boosts kicks in then dumps then boosts then dumps when my foot it to the floor, however it only does it sometimes like when its not up to temp.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Chris

i am running the same setup as you. and have the same problem.
are you running k03 or k03s?

 

[chris.baldwin]

Ko3 I think, possible ko3s. More likely S tbh. Doing my nut in :/

we had this when doing a stage two map, would boost fine then leak, only sure way is a propper smoke/pressure test

 

[chris.baldwin]

Any idea who/what and where can I get a leak test? Would upgrading all to Samcos solve it? :/
