Boost Problems And Flashing CEL
#32
Problem solved - probably
I climbed under the car to check the Wastgates
I could open one of them with my fingers without too much difficulty but the other one was a damn sight harder to open
I blasted them both with WD40 and worked them open and closed (and repeated this for a few times)
Next morning I went out in the car and went for a few hard pulls
The first few times I was still getting 1.4-1.5bar
Then all of a sudden under WOT at full boost it suddenly dropped down to 0.4bar
So, it as it turned out it was a sticking wastegate causing me to overboost and not a leak after all
I have changed my MAF too and am now i'm boosting 0.7bar spiking to 0.8bar
All is good again!

as long as ur on ur current seup u have no options.... if you go up to a bigger system and the tuner runs a different maf then its part of the kit... you cant jsut install any maf and expect a car to run well...
if ur on a stock airbox you should be fine...
