Boost creep?

[HI85WH1]

I noticed (shotgut rider noticed actually) boost creep while under load.

I was either at WOT or close to it, on a slight downhill grade pulling from a traffic light.

I heard him counting: 14.....15.....16.....17.....(I looked at the boost gauge)..18 (WTF?)... and let off just as it hit 19...

Car needs better brakes... LOL

check your vaccum hoses going to your boost solonoid, and or might wanna try a new one..

Did all the hoses already (after I blew the reference line off the turbo)

Boost Solenoid may be bad and or failing?...

When I first hit the throttle boost goes to 14-15 psi, drops a tad between gears, but this was in 3rd and we were moving pretty quick.

We need a racetrack or I'm gonna get my a$$ arrested :smile:
