Cannot get boost past 15 psi??
#1
Hi guys,

right i own a ph1 xud and am currently trying to hit the desired 18-19 psi. Ive got a bosch pump gov modded and turned up with wax stat disconnected and lda cap spun out.

The car is fmic'd and im running a kkk turbo. Ive pretty much got the pump so if i turn the max fuel up any more the idle raises too high, i get black smoke off boost and a fair haze on full boost.

so today i gave the actuator 2.5 turns (previously had 2-3 already) and im still only getting 15 psi. I keep checking for boost leaks and can't find any. The boost gauge sits on 14-15 psi without fluctuating but i'm thinking the wastegate is stuck or something.
I did notice a reduction in haze on full blow but no raise in psi.

Has anyone else had/fixed this problem?

Is it that i just need to wind the turbo in more? How far can it go, because surely after 4.5-5.5 turns i should be seeing more of a reaction?

help much appreciated and if any body lives northwest and knows the xud inside out, i could do with a meet/some advice. cheers Steve
