[RESOLVED] 14b swap... only 8psi?

[spawn87]

i just installed my 14b its ported incase your wondering... my problem is im only getting about 8-9 psi even though i have a boost controller in (had it on the t25 set at 14psi and didnt change it) one thing i noticed is my oil dipstick broke and spit oil out could that be the case or do i need to dail the bc in more?

 

[lowexpectations]

My opinion is either: A major boost leak, a faulty guage, or have you adjusted the mbc to see if boost changes? Sounds to me like you are running off the wg.

 

[spawn87]

the gauge is accurate and the im running the mbc between the wg and source... so even if i had it at 14psi on the t25 it wont work the same on the 14b?

 

[spawn87]

no i know i put in the bc in right i checked it as soon as i notice the problem... i boost leak tested the system before starting up the engine but ill check again... is 8-9 psi stock boost?

So you haven't actually tried to just turn it up yet?

Just a F.Y.I. You might want to use proper grammar before your thread gets deleted.

I would have at least tried that before starting the thread
Both t2small and 14b have approximately 9-10psi actuators. But they are two different actuators which is a variable that may require adjustment
turn it up a bit and report back to us

*Grammar

(you have the right idea, though)
