mbc, boost leak fix, what boost?

[Gamble97]

So my car is boosting at 18psi and boosest says 33psi. I found a boost leak and am in the middle of fixing it. When I fix the leak will I still boost at 18 or will it boost at 33?

Should be 18. Just because the system is holding 33psi... which i think boosest is supposed to be "boost test". What a car can hold, and what you have it adjusted to run at are two different things.

No offense here, this is gonna sound bad, but how are some people proven members?

No I mean boostest, according to dsmlink.

What's that supposed to me? It's a legitimate question asshole. And your title changes depending on how many posts the person has N00B!

Your question is legit. Sounds like you need to fix leaks and do some airflow calibration.

damn, 33psi? Hell of a leak, or leaks. Just a suggestion, but if you dont already, look into removing emissions shit if for anything just to stop/avoid future boost leaks. It makes leaks easier to find also.

 

[Gamble97]

Aren't there downsides to removing the emissions stuff? Like running rich, or smelling gas?
I have been thinking about it for a while.

It's illegal, but I haven't noticed any side effects. I need to get a block off plate for my egr still...

It will boost to whatever the mbc is set to. BoostEst is an estimate based on airflow. What maf are you using?

It's a stocker 2g maf. Do you know where the ecu get it's estimate from?
