hey guys, cause i had no licence last winter, and it was the first winter since having the steelwheeled turbo's put in, the car never really got raced at all. I noticed tonite however that it is starting to creep boost, and then as i hit 3rd gear it hits 14psi and suddenly stops and the engine light comes on. I am fairly sure this is boost cut. Has anyone else has this happen? I normally run 10.5 psi roughly and holds it solidly in the daytime, but since it started getting colder it's creeping, i have no boost controler, any idea's?

Hey brendan. im running 15psi out of the stock turbo's and i get no cut out from them. i tried putting it to 16 and the cut comes on. are you sure your getting 10.5 because alot of ppl put the boost guage on the wrong lines.

yeah it holds 10.5 cause I tried a electric apexi one from a mate of mine a few weeks back to make sure and it said 0.75 bar and held steady. i'm fairly sure that's around 10.5-11psi which is what my autometer one says. i'll try it again tomorrow day but i bet it'll hold around 11 which is what it normally does. Just at night when it's cold it creeps really bad at the end of 2nd gear and when u hit third it gets to around 14psi and thats when all the fun ends.

hmmmm what sorta turbo u running on it? it could just be the efficiency of the turbos wanting to get higher power and the boost cut is tryin to come on.? if u can get hands on a boost controler try and borrow it of a mate one night and try to keep the boost on 11psi
