need help with my by pass and/or bov
hi guys, so i have noticed for last wee while when i put my foot down my bypass was releasing air. boost on gauge was dropping. it happens around 4k rpm. i had a bov installed also just to be sure if either failed i had a backup already there. i removed the vacuum line from bypass valve and just kept the bov installed and it releasing air just at idel and when i put floor down it just releasing air non stop and no boost what so ever. i then remove bov altogether and just keep bypass valve on and the same it releasing boost/air at 4k rpm.
i am lost. its all taped to the vacuum like and then returned back to car. i have i missed something?
Is this on a turbo or supercharged engine?
So the bypass is air operated?
Normally when driving the throttle is down the bypass is shut. And when the throttle is off the bypass opens. But at around 4k rpm it seems the throttle is down but the bypass starts opening.
Hmm, It could be that at higher revs there's too much flow past it and its forcing it open.
Wonder if pat has the same problem with his?
