Boost leak
Ok i was at the track today. and i ran anywhere between 14.9 and 14.1 and when i got into high rpms i went from 12 psi to like 9-8psi. is there aways to fix it. and i if i get a bigger wastegate will it help with holding boost?
if you're leaking fix the leak first. getting a new wga isn't going to fix a leak. do a boost leak test and tighten down the clamps and see where she sits. a 14.1 isn't THAT bad on a stock car anyway.....
Well do u know if you are leaking? Depending on the weather and conditions around you, your boost will change a little. A leak test will help and yes a better (but no necessarily bigger) wga will help but like PSI said only if your not leaking. Low 14's are good on the stock car. A really good driver might be able to pull a high 13. You can hold higher boost levels with better wga's but your still going to see some sort of fall in boost at some point but it shouldn't fall that low.
Well the only way to be sure is to do a test. You can buya boost leak testerfor about $25 on srtforums or I'm sure they have a how-to on here on doing one yourself. Oh and if you start messing with your boost I highly recommend a wideband. But the tester is the first and cheapest option.
