_NOAH_MR.NICEGUY_ Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I recently replaced my turbo in my 06 and upgraded to an invidia up pipe. It's a rebuilt vf40 from Hill Country Forced Induction. Everything seems to drive fine and i'm not getting any codes, but i'm barely getting boost. It's maybe getting 5psi. I've checked for leaks and don't hear anything abnormal. But my turbo inlet is looking pretty shitty. It was fine when I installed the new turbo, no rips or tears, but now its looking a little shot. Could that be a reason i'm not making boost? Or is it a vacum line i'm not checking? Restrictor pill seems fine and I cleaned my MAF sensor. AP shows my wastegate duty is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the wastegate is set to open at around 8psi so if you BCS isn't opening that's all you will get Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the line with the regulator pill, shoulda checked the others while I was at it. How do I go about checking the BCS tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all looks good with the boost control system, try to pressurize the intake to see if you're leaking anywhere.
