Leak anywhere from comp out to intake ports. We all tend to leap to the ecu for problems, but most often it's something silly like a loose clamp, split hose, etc. That's why the new kits have as few joints as possible. Boost control won't kick in unless you're within 7 kpa of target when you come off boost assist. So if the leak causes the boost to be nowhere near target when you come off assist, it washes its hands of the whole affair and doesn't even try.

I was thinking the other day about leaks...and what would happen if there was a leak post compressor....I figured with the signal for the EBC coming from right at the compressor outlet, if it was reading 180 KPA but my gauge (T'd from brake/vacuum source line which IIRC is about at the throttle body) that would make sense sure. But with the EBC reading 150-155 KPA peak and the lower WG %, I was puzzled :) Thanks for the reply Bill, - b PS: like the new FM digs...will have to get out for another open house someday :) > > Bill Cardell > TurboDog's Dad > Flyin' Miata > 1-800-359-6967 (sales) > 970-464-5600 (tech support) > www.flyinmiata.com > www.fmwestfield.com > > _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
