I've gone from stock to near the end of stage 1 in the past week installing parts on my little beast. I performed all the maintenance listed in the forums pre-stage 1 mods on my beast (41K original miles ļ ). I installed the Hallman EVO RX (soft spring for starting) as described in the Hallman manual (compressor housing port in and wastegate act. Out on MBC). The Greddy Type-S BOV is installed with the top most nipple line ran to the intake manifold front nipple. The rest of my mods can be viewed in the profile. Note that the exhaust is getting put on this weekend (damn corroded cat bolts).

The problem is that even with the boost turned ALL the way down my boost gauge pretty damn near jumps to 20psi after a mild press on the gas in 2nd gear so I am popping it into nuteral and saying WTF a lot. Now as for the BOV I have it softened up quite a bit from the factory setting.

Also when I turn off the car the boost gauge chills at 6psi and idling about -4.

What do I do?


PS: I first tried the MBC ¡V BOV config as shown in Link 1 and the Boost Guage is installed like Link 2

PS2: The manual for greddy tpe-s BOV came entirely in Japanese and I can't find a manual online. But I read on the forum to soften it all the way, run the car idle, then tighten it until you don¡¦t hear hissing. I just softened it up but didn¡¦t hear hissing
