LOW Boost - NO CODES - A process of elimination list.
« on: 05 March 2012, 07:41 »
Quick thought,

what about a list/chart for LOW boost - NO CODEs issues?

I am sure loads of peoples motors on here just arent QUITE the same as when they were mapped and suffer from low boost, but yet have no fault codes, so I thought I'd try to start a list of "places to look".

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE/EDIT/CORRECT etc as you will notice my "list" consists of one entry :grin: because I dont know where to look next!  :grin:

I am just so fcuked off by low boost I need to do something about it.

1. The most obvious - LEAK!
 - Pressure test system and repair any leaks.
2. Wastegate Actuator????
 - Done some reading and understand that Less preload + more boost, and that about 12 threads should be showing, lol, but apart from that dont really want to mess about with something I dont understand. lol


There is one thing, a pressure test is tight, however there is still a loss into the block and out of the breather system, (PCV deleted).
LOW BOOST AND NO CODES FCUKS ME RIGHT OFF!

Faulty Maf - No code or management light
Low Fuel Pressure - Limiting the boost. Not sure if a code will come up.
Weak Actuator - Not holding the wastegate when in boost.
