Question about restrictor pills location

This is so sad. . .If it weren't for the best information about our cars in the world, I would leave this site. It is fine to honestly disagree, even to honestly correct one another (I think that is called "learning"); but it is not okay to simply disrespect each other and clutter the site with garbage. Whether one has 1 post or 10,000 posts, there should be one warning (or not), then banishment for this behavior. Or maybe just allow it in the lounge or something.

In this case, the OP has removed restriction in the exhaust. He has a downpipe, high flow cat, and a RB catback. He wants to keep his boost @ 10 psi. There is no way that will happen with his current setup (running properly). Banzai has told him he will be ok. There is no way he will be at 10 psi (where he wants to be), so he wont be ok.

In your arrogance you have overlooked that the airbox in use is as (or more) restrictive then stock. It is completely enclosed with only a 2.5" inlet from the IC duct. Couple that with the restrictive RB exhaust and I doubt he will even see 11psi.
Don't worry guys, I don't expect any apologies from this guy. He will have another excuse soon as to why he was right. Perhaps next there is something wrong with Eternal's car because the boost behaves properly. The turbos must be blown, because there is no way he is wrong.

We may be defining overboosting differently. I define overboosting as the car boosting higher than you want it to boost. If you want your car to boost @ 10 psi, and it boosts to 12, that is overboosting in my book.

He will hit 15 psi.

With all due respect, Banzai works on many FD's & has prob seen just about all there is to see regarding the common problem of over boosting. I would be very surprised if any advice given was anything but accurate. If I was you, I would do myself a favour and stop posting in this thread. Its making you look like an ***....

After giving it some thought, I have decided not to post again on this thread until Eternal Gamer gets his car running properly. Once that has been done, we will have our answers, and the conjecture will be unnecessary.

Make sure your turbo control actuator is functioning correctly. Here is a site with a lot of helpful info http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-...leshooting.htm

Ok I found out that after wot and shifting into the next gear I get lower boost even below 4500. I'll get like 5-6psi. If I lift off throttle for a bit and wot again I'll get the 10psi under 4500 again. I suspect some check valves are leaking, so I'm going to test them when I got time but in the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and replace them all. Hopefully this will fix my low secondary boost also.
