Powerlogger numbers may be indicating boost lines leaking at these boost levels so tomorrow I will be looking them all over and zip tying them all tight.
Is there anything else that you found was leaking boost? What about that canister in the front fender, or that check valve near it or ??? I've never seen a hose blown off but the boost could be leaking past the connections. Duplicating boost levels could be difficult on the bench but I have an idea that may work if zip tying the hoses don't. I will replace any lines that looks iffy and zip tie them.
I am running approx. 30-33psi of boost according to the mechanical gauge on the hood but PowerLogger is only showing 25psi with a brand new 3.5 bar sensor AND my fuel pressure on PL only reads 52psi. MAP sensor and fuel xdcr are brand new this week. I believe the low fuel psi is real b/c this low fuel pressure is causing the injectors to have a duty cycle around 117 which has been keeping the O2's safe enough from hurting anything with alchy...so far.
I started with the mechanical gauge reading 26psi and made a run..
PL seemed to record this accurate enough. Then I raised it to 28 but PL still showed 52psi of fuel psi and 25 psi of boost and inj. duty cycle around 90 (I think).
Then I raised boost to 30 but PL still showed 52psi of fuel psi and 25 psi of boost and inj/ duty cycle of 117.
Something is leaking, IMO..
thnx all..
