hey, am wondering if my vsv has an issue, normally my car would build boost slowly to 12psi in 2nd gear+, only reaching 12psi at about 6000rpm upwards.
but yesterday I did absolutely nothin to the car, and it begins running 14psi, boost needle shoots right up to 14psi and soon as I get on the gas. Is this a problem? any info or advice is appreciated. Its is basically stock with an HKS intake, gutted cat and a 3" exhaust from midpipe back. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 Turbo 4WD, Black

I think there is probably a problem with my wastegate though, ama get it tested soon, because when it does 14psi, it hit 14psi by about 4000rpm tops, and turbo response is rediculous. but currently it starts building boost very sharply but slows after 7psi and slowly climbs to 10.

I dont understand? So is it responsive or not? If it swings up to 7 immediately its responsive, if it doesnt then it's not. Swinging up to 7 and creeping up to 10 and hanging around there does sound like the VSV, so maybe its time u ditched the VSV and got a boost controller? Because the wastegate is sprung to 10psi, it makes sense to hit 7 and creep up to 10 (that's wastegate creep, normal) but the not going past 10 part is the VSV not functioning, but as I said before double check leaks esp the throttle body clamp -------------------- Mike W
