I have been very worried since last Saturday and I don't really want to know the real consequences, but I have been losing sleep over this so here it goes.
On Saturday, I installed my TurboXS MBC and went for a drive. I thought all the hoses were set up correctly and I turned in the set screw all the way in and 2 turns out. I drove off, turned the corner, and punched it. My Blitz TT boost gauge WARNING is set for 1.12 hkpa (16.24psi). I took off and heard my warning go off, let off the gas immediatly, and couldn't believe my eyes. I got a reading of 1.40hkpa(around 20psi). I immediatley pulled over and turned in the set screw all the way in. Took off again, punched it in 2nd, and the warning went off again, immediately letting off the gas. This time it went to 1.2hkpa(17.4 psi). So by now I am REALLY pissed off, I look at the hoses and the hose that connects to the back of the turbo was put onto something else. I said OH $hit!!!!! I put the hose back on to where it was supposed to be, and then went ahead and set my MBC at 15.5psi.
I haven't had any idle problems, no stumbling of acceleration of any sort, no oil consumption, and no smoke coming out ot the tail pipe. I am just worried.
Should I be worried about over boosting for a split second. Can these cars take overboosting for a split second? I need to hear some feedback. Right now there is no problems with my car but I am scared. I have read that 18 and 20 psi can be run on these cars. And I only boosted for a SPLIT SECOND. Do I have anything to worry about? It almost just wants to make me take the MBC off and run stock from now on. But I can't stop worrying.
GOD, I would like to hear some feedback from you too, since your comments are probably the most well respected on this club.
Thanks in advance.
