EcoBoostSHO Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The car did something weird yesterday so I thought I would post it and see if anyone has any ideas. I was rolling in to the throttle on an on ramp and the car was in second essentially floored. It shifted in to 3rd and the car fell on its face. I have multiple ODB guages in the car using Torque for Android and I happened to glance down and saw that boost was maxed at 14.7 PSI and it was pulling a bunch of timing because it was knocking (saw both of those on my gauges as well)...which I can see why if the boost reading was accurate. :RpS_scared: I got off the gas and everything seemed fine. I even did a WOT run after that and haven't seen any boost spikes...all else seems fine now. Yes its tuned but given this was a one time event I don't believe it is related to that. Anyone ever experienced this before? Any ideas what it could be from? I was thinking sticking wastegate, blow off/bypass valve, plugged exhaust???

SoCalSHO Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Without knowing any of the levels on my car, mine had done that a few times before I bought my tune. So, what tune are you running? Is it one of the two that are most popular here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I should say it seems to be the same type of symptoms my car displayed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBoostSHO Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Running LV Stage 4+...I see other threads that say boost that high is normal so maybe the digital guage is way off but either way it was far out of my "normal" range. I typically only see a Max boost of 11-12 psi on the guage. The current MAP sensor maxes out at 14.7 PSI I believe. It hasn't happened again so I am just keeping an eye on it.
