Where are you located and would this involve me removing the turbo and reinstalling it???

 

we are in st. paul, about a mile out of downtown. yes the turbo would have to come off.

 

I would like to use your services but I am not that mechanically inclined nor do I have enough time to do that myself right now. I am looking for a full service.

 

we are full service. we can take the turbo out, port it, and then reinstall it for you.

 

Are you sure you don't just need a better tune?

 

+1. What car & mods?

 

justin, what's your turn around time on a port job and hotside coating? pm me....

 

generally we say about 10 days but lately its been around 2 weeks because we are so busy. however, if we know your car is out of commission we can bump it up our to do list

 

weld the door shut and go external.

 

wait? what turbo and what are your mods?

 

Car Details:

2006 WRX 2.5L
Original Turbo
3" Full Turbo Back Perrin Exhaust
Fully Tuned by DB Performance on Dyno with Stage 2 Maping(I Believe)

Side Note:
Right after tuned car ran great with mild Creeping only in 4th gear when
flooring it from below 3500 RPMs

 

wastgate actuator arm adjusted?

 

Justin,

Thats good news accept this is my daily driver and dont have a second car so I would need to get a rental so 2 weeks would cost me some ching...Let me know what ya think...Thanks

 

I havent touched anything on the Turbo/Wastgate etc.

 

define boost creep.

 

That's not boost creep, it happens when the turbo dynamics tables aren't adjusted properly and don't open the wg enough since the turbo is being loaded for a longer period of time (since you are in a higher gear).

By your rationalle, are you are getting "boost creep" in 2nd gear because you are seeing higher boost levels than 1st?!? Yet another tidbit of Nasioc hype that is untrue.

 

+1. Get a better tune, and read up on the definitions of boost spike and boost creep.

 

boost creep is when boost is hiding and you can't hit boost, and then it jumps up and scares you, right?

 

yeah, and boost spike is when your turbo stabbs you in your sleep with an icepick to the forehead

 

Okay here is what is going on:

Basically at this point whether Im in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th and I am
accelerating below 4000 RPM nothing grabs just revs out untill I let off.
What is odd is when I first got my car tuned it ran fine except for a little Boost
Creep when in 4th or 5th gear and running low RPMs and then hittin the gas. Now
over the past 2 weeks its gotten really bad to the point where I have to ease into every
gear....SIDE NOTE I have read everything there is to read on NASIOC and yes that is why I came to the conclusion of Boost Creep and Spiking.

Now Subie GURUS what are your thoughts??? Thanks

 

:crazy: I have no idea what you're trying to explain. WTF does this mean?

Again, please re-read the definition of boost creep. There is a difference between hitting different boost in different gears (the result of 1 set of WGDC tables for all gears) and boost creep.

 

NOTE: I do not Have a Boost Gauge right now, but will get one.

Maybe I do not have Boost Creep, but thats what my readings lead me to believe through my NASIOC readings. Basically what going on with my car is what I mentioned above. I guess I will do some more research and contact DB Performance who tuned my car and go from there. Sorry to waste your guys time. This is my first turbo car and my first car I have done mods to.

 

what the crap, so you are assuming what the pressures are and you really have no basis for this thread?

 

Are you serious, no basis for this thread....there are other symptoms that can lead you to believe that you might have Boost Creep going on

 

ok, and have you even read what some of the most intelligent people here have said?

 

Yes, Have you even read what I have wrote. I just explained what was going on with my car above and that maybe I am off in my judgements. Listen Bud if you wanna argue or get into debates go and join TOASTMASTERS.

 

get some guys!

 

your a really snotty, pushy newb you know that? dont be a prick, you expect help and when its given you act like an moron, seriously. read their posts, go back on Nasioc or something and figure out what you THINK you are talking about first.

 

Ok. Please try to explain what symptoms you are seeing. I could not understand your previous post. You asked for help, so we're trying to tell you what additional information we need to help you.

 

i still dont see why he thinks its spiking or creeping, and if he read everything on nasioc like he said i am pretty sure one of the million actuator arm adjustment threads came up... whether he read them or not is questionable, but even still, sounds normal to me. i would say some fault in the tune or just imagination at work since you have no boost gauge even to backup your thoughts about it.

 

I think you're catching this thing call torque...hehehe

 

so i'm assuming you are running logs to see what your boost is actually doing since you dont have a boost gauge ?? you obviously are getting boost numbers from somewhere right?

 

we would hope

 

nub .

 

why dont you just take someone for a drive and show them.... quit the pissing match and take advice...

 

Its good that you're reading, but you have to take everything you read on NASIOC with a grain of salt because 90% of the people on there are morons.

Anyone who's on here berating a stranger for not knowing what boost creep is wasting their own time.

 

Did you get your car tuned when it was hot out?

 

Yes I did and I have noticed these changes ever since we have been having the milder temps around here.

 

What happens is no matter what gear I am in and if I am running low RPMs in that gear and then give it gas not even stomping on it my RPMs quickly red line or just jump up...Its almost like its completely bypassing something or missing something. It just doesnt grab anything, meaning move the car forward. I have to ease through every gear in order for me to gain speed right now. Does this make sense to you what I am explaining. I am planning on taking someone for a ride in it. It could very well need some more tuning. Thanks

 

Okay...After some more reading and looking and taking your suggestion into consideration that could be what it is "Clutch Slipping"....See Shane at DB Performance said when I left after getting my car tuned by him to keep my eyes open for Boost Creep and he explained that without having a Boost Gauge one sympton would be the RPMs sky rocketing so naturally when this happened I looked up Boost Creep and I had similar symptons going on as explained in all the FAQ's but now Im starting to believe it could be my Clutch Slipping. I have smelt the clutch burning some occasions. Thanks for your suggestion!

 

Your clutch is toast.

:+1:, sounds like it.
