This morning was the only time I've put the pedal to the floor, and only one time through some gears. It isn't something I'm keen on doing. Just a test.
I agree semi with this. But if your WOT in 4th that boost should not drop until rev limiter is hit at high rpms
We really don't know. He could be experiencing a bit of "wheel spin" that is dropping his boost as well OR the intercooler is getting somewhat heatsoaked. Could be numerous things.
The car seems to like the higher rpms, in general. I learned that on the drive home. No wheel spin, my shifts are smooth.
Everything you're all capping I've tried. Clearly you'd rather flip out. No need to keep checking this thread.
Ok good luck bub
To echo other comments, you just don't understand how turbo cars work. Assume yours is working fine, bank your experiences in the "this is how a factory tuned small engine small turbo setup" functions. If you ever tune it, or change platforms, some of the characteristics will transfer to that new platform and some will be different.
The second paragraph was a helpful explanation. Thank you!
I know you think I am an asshole but if a compiled amount of knowledge and even general turbo car operation is what you seek...........
I don't think you're an asshole, I don't even know you.
Remember... I said the stock tune has partial throttle boost dampening. You generally will NOT reach peak boost unless you are floored. Even though the small turbo mechanically can reach full boost on partial throttle... and there is enough exhaust gas to do so... the ECU controls the electronic wastegate and will prevent you from reaching peak boost. It does this to make the car be far more linear than it has the potential to be... and that's what the tunes do... and why you can get a 50% bump in torque in the mid-range. It also makes the power delivery un-linear though. You get a surge of power In the midrange and the torque tapering off rapidly... though it is still higher than the stock tune.
