boost controller not controlling

Post by pccalloutservice »

have an ebc fitted to my car, everything was great until i changed my turbo after the shaft snapped.

since then the car is running higher boost, even i limit it to 0.6 bar for example.

it will just boost on past 0.6 and on up.

everything was put back where it came off.

?? could this be do to with the actuator, saying that it may be uprated?

??should i replace the actuator with the one from my old turbo?

help me please!!!!!!!!

sounds like either the actuator has got to big a spring in it or the actuator / wastegate flap isn't working

when you say flap not working, do u mean that it should be tight when car is stopped?
