Hey I recently turned up my boost on my TX5 to 13psi the car somtimes lost power and the computer gave off a beep then started again (this occured quickly so I could continue to drive). I then turned down the boost back to 9 psi but the problem has continued. I dont think there's any boost leak and I know that the comp should run fine on 9psi. Does anyone have any ideas at all as to what my problem could be?
Thanks |

| You have a split in a rubber hose or you have got a hose off slightly, or your clamps have come loose. Check the Throttle Body boot for small cracks, or splits. Fairly normal place fro that sort of thing to occur. |

Yeah mate I thoguth bout all that but I replcaed all the boost and vacum pressure piupin with new stuff when I installed it...Alls good now it hasnt done it again and I havent done anythin else...so im just gonna leave it...I had the battery d/c for a while when I was installing the gauge so it could have been the computer re-tuning. anyways I got the contoller installed finally and Ive put in my new Autometer Liquid Filled Boost Gauge (worth 200bucks). and everything is all good  next comes new frnt pads and that damn adapter plate ive been waiting 4 |

| What Boost controller did you get??? Not a manual one I hope. What this about an adaptor plate?? It isn't for your dodgily installed Blow off valve is it?? It could be that leaking. Your clear tubing. |

| Naa blow off valves is all good now its all been resealed stuill using the same tubing but ive checked it all and retightened clamps....running 12psi now with no probs but ive got a HKS fuel cut defender on the way so it'll be up to 15psi soon. Yeah I got a manual one there not dodgy its a turbosmart under bonnet one (whats so dodge about em?). Adaptor plate im waiting for is for the Pod filter...But after Ive installed my boost gauge I noticed ive got no dash lights all the stuff works like the power and economy lights and all that but nothin actually on my instruments...ive checked fuses got any ideas...??? Its a bitch to drive at night *lol* cant see he speedo. |
