tsi people. when does your t25 start spooling, and build boost??
tsi people. when does your t25 start spooling, and build boost??
at what psi does it start to build boost?
today i kept my eye on the gauge and slowly raised rpm but it never even went to 0 out of vacuum. then from idle i floored it real quick (to 3k)and the needle was going to 0 but i never really saw it go past that.

so just sitting there revving it, not even at wide open throttle i shouldnt expect boost at like 3k?
ive never driven a car with a gauge so this is sumwhat new to me. and i thought this was correct but with a guy coming to tune my car i wanted to double check with you guys.

the t25 spools at about 2500 rpm and if your applying throttle
and if your not going above 0 psi then you have a pipe loose somewhere start checking them all

You need to load the engine for it to build boost. You can't make boost in neutral.
If its not building boost while moving, or building it very slowly, check to be sure the WG flapper is tight, and check all the couplers.

SO MANY PEOPLE THINK THEY DO NOT NEED LOAD TO MAKE BOOST, BUT THEY FORGET TURBOS ARE EXHAUST PULSE DEPENDENT. There are minimal pulses at neutral, all of the pulsing is made during load while driving.
yea thanks guys, i found a pipe actually disconnected cus some guy at the shop thought it was hitting the crank so he moved it. its good now.
but the tuner tried tuning it and weve got fuel issues with emanage, id appreciate your help in that thread in FI.
