T28 Boost Issue (yes, I have searched!)

[Hammond]

A mate and I have just finished fitting a T28 to my S13, got it running, set the Profec A at 1.0bar took it for a drive but both controller and mechanical gauge still read 0.7bar? I've checked for boost leaks and made sure all the pipes are tight. The turbo also came with a adjustable Forge actuator, but surely it won't make a difference if I'm running the Profec??

Just to add, I have the correct mods to support (STG2 chip, walbro, filter etc).

Thanks for your help.

Do you have injectors? the 370cc max out after 10-11psi and will lean out after 5500rpms

so running 14psi is not a wise choice until you upgrade the injectors.

yes the adustable actuator will make a differnce loosen for less tighten for more

ive never used a profec so i cant say for sure, but how do you know its at 1 bar? does it have auto boost setting? try upping the gain, you should see more boost

hmmm i had no problem when i was boosting 15+psi or the short period of running 22psi on my t25

had another friend we kept his SR T25 at 18psi for well over a year on stock injectors

If you have a H-Dev Stg2 chip then you need to keep the stock injectors and keep the boost at 1bar.

The actuator shouldn't make a difference because the controller should keep the wastegate closed/flapping until your boost setting is reached... Are you sure the controller has a good boost reference?

Also considering that you're in England i'm guessing you have a ca18det...

T28 will flow more volume of air than the T25.

did you by pass the stock boost solenoid?

Make sure the dip switches on the prfec are correctly set. They might be set for if overboosting occurs and aren't letting it boost enough.
