boost builds really slow (vid)

[nvmsp]

agreed, the stock wga sucks, get the atp, i replaced mine on my old slotege and it never pooped on my like the stocker did. and its only like $60 i think?

I don't agree. Before my original stock wga went bad, that s*** held solid 7-8psi when modded.

The Atp sucks in my opinion. That s*** is all over the place, doesn't hold boost right. Atleast not all the time.
I can't wait to get 440's and the afc so I can get the HKS wga.

I'm with you. 80K+ miles and mine is still holding strong and has from day one no matter what psi I threw at it.

hmm maybe i just got a crappy one idk, the atp was just cheaper and never gave me any issues lol

if it was a bad wastegate you would be over boosting because the WG would not be opening due to a torn diaphram. it is probably some sort of leak that you have in your FMIC tract or even intake manifold. try to run a boost leak test and spray some soapy water onto your couplers and intake mani.

323. which fmic do you have?? and may you put some pics of the routing, please

its a cx racing fmic kit off of ebay. check out this thread: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123759220

am i crazy or do you go to like 26HG? what is your HG at when idling? and where is your needle when the car is off?

me thinks your guage is borken~

 

[323]

its like 24/25 ish when the foot is off the pedal. at idle its 21/22 ish.

thats normal so its not an intake leak most likely. did u check ur manifold for cracks? do a tuneup. clean or replace ur egr valve, and take ur car to a auto shop and have them smoke test it for leaks, thats the most dead on way.

sorry to keep threadjackin lol but thats the exact same kit? how did u get the routing like that?

I'm at the same boat but my question is what are the affects of a cracked exhaust mani on boost? I know it affects your AFRs but how bad does it affect boost presure?

super duper late reply.. but the issue was the wastegate

Hm... well good to see you got it figured out. My WG is fine and passes the blow test.
