ATP GT3076R Internal Wastegate + MBC issue, Can't Surpass 22PSI
Hey Guys,
So I have an ATP GT3076R that came with a stock 12-14psi Wastegate. My plan was to up the boost via MBC to about 24psi. My issue is that I can only hit 22psi and it would tapper to 20-21. I tried a Grimmspeed MBC and a Turbosmart Dual Stage MBC. Both seem to be limited to around 22 psi. Can my Wastegate spring be too weak to handle x amount of boost? Is there anything I can add to the system to help out? I found this: http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=WGT This should substantially help I think but is it the proper solution? I don't mind buying it if its proper. Also if my Wastegate is the problem then wouldn't it be cracking open earlier then it needs too thus the tapper? Thanks!

Sounds like your BPV/BOV is leaking

What is the internal wastegate set to hold? The rule of thumb is that you can't run more than double the pressure (reliably)

Why are you just cranking boost up blindly How are you determining its only making 22psi? Gauge, logs, etc?

I'm logging via romraider, gauges, have det cans etc (not doing it blindly). I can see it not wanting to produce more boost/sustain no matter what I do with the MBC. |

Alright, put my bpv back on (crushed it) and still in the same situation as before. Getting 22psi nothing more.
Could I have a boost leak? I smoked the motor 2 months ago and had no leaks so I'll rule it out. Wastegate creeping open? Wouldn't a lot of gt3076r owners have this issue though? |

Log MAP not MRP, see if you read over 22

Yah, one of them reads 18.43 max. I changed that so its reading right.
Strange thing happened today though. If I go from 1-5 full blast it hits 22 psi and stays there. Now if I'm on the highway in 5th and stomp on it the boost surpasses 24psi and the car goes know where fast. You can hear the turbo go but the car is like blah. I guess this ATP GT3076R is a hair dryer up there. Reading this from my boost gauge (didn't have laptop). |

What are you tuned for? It sounds like you're well on your way to blowing things up.

I'm going to buy a stiffer wastegate spring and see if it helps. No reason a MBC shouldn't be able to allow the turbo to produce more boost. For simplicity sake, let's keep the tuning out. Assume it's perfect. I'm playing with a MBC so I'm not using the stock system/ecu to control boost. I'll try the bov and see if I can reproduce. Recap: I've used 2 mbc's, bpv/bov and with the bpv I can cause the car to overboost if I'm in 5th gear. |

Your car will pull timing when it knocks. This slows your car down, even though you might be maintaining boost levels.
If it's a silicon intake hose, it could be collapsing on high boost. |

On a ATP 30R, in fifth gear, not at speed, Of course the car isn't going to go anywhere. its a 30r. Full spool is what, 3800/4000 rpm?...you'd have to be doing over 100 at least. No one should be loading a larger turbo car, on pump gas, in 5th gear, not at speed, its a recipe for disaster. My guess if your car is reading full boost, not at speed, that your boost gauge is broken. Verify with a datalog...but if you'd been loading the car, again, not at speed, chances are you'll need more then just a new boost gauge.
& knock has nothing to do with the car not reaching target boost. My guess is you are out of the limitations on whatever boost controller/diaphragm setup you are running. |

I don't hold it. I know it's a disaster if I'd hold it. Boost gauge/log read the same. This turbo fully spools at like 4700rpm which is weird. I don't have AVCS but it can't play such a big roll in spool timing I don't think. (2.5l sti)
Anywho, the more I tighten down the boost controller the more it will over boost in 5th gear (1-5 WOT run). Currently will over boost to 24psi and come back down to 22 psi. Though 1-4 seem fine, slight overboost but most noticinle when shifting into 5th for a sec it will spike during a full on WOT run. |

You're pretty much overloading the wastegate to mechanically creep, that's why its overboosting like that. And yes... AVCS does make a difference....

honestly, a 30R with a 14psi spring and a MBC should have ZERO issues hitting 22psi. it sounds to me like your wastegate is stuck open. try pushing the flapper open and closed a few times by hand to see if you can break whatever is causing it to stick open free. then see if it helps you hit your target boost.

its going to take alot of force to open it, you are overcoming 14psi of spring tension. even the 8psi vf turbos take a decent amount of force to open.

yes, by putting your hand on the actuator arm and manually actuating the wastegate flapper open and closed is going to take some effort because you are overcoming the spring tension.

Adjusted the wastegate actuator 2 turns. Nothing. It already seemed pretty tight to be honest.
Kinda lost. |
