good boost no power

[etdentmed]

hey you guys im having a big problem, while the car runs with no boost does not have any problems at all, now when i go over 0psi it does not gain any power it even goes into 10psi but still no gain in power,it does maintain the boost,so im assuming its not a boost leak. a lot o people have told me its my mas,or maf sensor, however you call it, i was reading and in some article it say it could be my spark plugs, or cables,
guys i really need your help im in miami, and im not able to boost becasue of this everytime i do the car runs like crab, im having all these stupid hondas trying me and i cant do anything about it.

how does it run when you apply throttle? does it run worse, etc. if it runs the same not getting worse as the boost increases i would start looking into drivetrain parts ie clutch. an it is still possible to have a boost leak and still maintain boost pressure on you guage. are you using an aftermarket guage or the shit factory one? if you answer these questions we might be able to help you out a little more

i have a autometer gauges for a/f and boost, i have the s-afc, a 16g, and newly installed, second gen manifold, with the turbonetics delta gate waste gate, with the turbontetics bosst controller setup in the cockpit.i checked today for boost leaks and there is none. it specifically happens when i boost, none other , it could be in high or low throtle.i maintain the 10psi of boost but there is no power and the car does run richerr than normal, the car was not running like this , it began to happen when i installed the second gen mani, with the wastegate. tested both they are good. i spoke to my frined across the street and he said that he had the same problem and it was the maf. please you guys i need huge help

it could be the MAF, but it could also be a boost leak. Chances are there is a boost leak from the previous intall you did.

even though it your turbo is spooling to 10 psi, it doesn't mean there is no boost leak. a boost leak isn't LEAKING boost per se, it's letting air escape so it has to work A LOT harder to produce that same 10 psi.

i checked today for boost leaks and there is none.

Would that be a visual inspection?

Would that be a visual inspection?

nope i did it with the tester, and the soapy water.tomorow im getting another mas, so i can test it

i higly doubt its the maf. if there was somethign wron gwith that it would affect ur air fuel which would cause ur car to stumble and what not. things that u would notice.

like he said. if ur turbo has to work that much harder the air is gonna be alot hotter becasue the turbo is working out its efficiancy range.

do u have ur wastegate pressure source at the j pipe?
if u dont put it there because if u have a boost leak any where and u have the pressure source at the tb ur turbo is goonna keep on workign till it makes the 10 psi because the waste gate is not gonna be opened since it dont see the pressure.


best way to fix this is to keep the wastegate pressure source at the turbo or j pipe this way ur turbo wont work hard it just wont boost!
