Phate Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The car comes from the factory with electronic boost control. If you're overboosting, make sure the vacuum lines are connected properly, and that the restrictor pill is present. Also, are you on an OEM turbo or a chinacharger knockoff. I only ask because I had the same problems when I was running the chinacharger that my car came with. No matter how much I messed with it I couldn't get the boost control to behave because the wastegate actuator was basically just wrong. Everything was totally fine after I put a used OEM turbo on.

Max Capacity Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Your in CT, you need to meet up with Mike Kinsman of http://www.tuningalliance.com and have him do a street tune.

Max Capacity Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Mike replies to emails if you need help to answer that question. Different topic but I'm have him ordering me long rubber exhaust hangers so the Q300 quad tip mufflers don't melt the Spec B rear bumper. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
