Boost Problems.
« on: 18 January 2012, 21:14 »
My car holds boost at 12 PSI upto 4300 RPM, when I pass 4300 RPM, it suddenly drops with a jerk of the car to around 7 or 8, it then judders around up and down between 7 and 9 as if it's trying to pressurise but can't hold it's boost?

Any ideas why this could be?
It's got a blow off valve which was on it when I bought it, could this be a problem?

I suspect the blow off valve is causing it to drop into limp mode.

It's a 1999 AGU.
It doesn't stop me from revving all the way to the red line though, which I thought limp mode did?
I don't rev to the redline though as there's no power after 4300, as there's no boost!

How easy will it be to swap the BOV for the Forge 007p?

I'll run the OBD reader on it tomorrow, only a cheapy that tells me codes though.

Could just be the wrong spring in the blow off valve. I had no problems with a blow off valve on a AGU. I had no fault codes ,even when standard dv died and stayed shut. You will need to sort them codes out after you sort your boost pipes out and replace blow off valve with a 007 .Then delete the codes and see what ones pop back up.

I think the 1st 2 codes maybe because of it's "special cat"  :rolleyes:
