overboost??

[marcus18]

first off sorry about the length of the post.


I'm getting overboost I think. when I come to a dead stop and floor it I take off then the boost hits just below 15 on the stock boost gauge(I know it's not right) then power starts to fluctuate like it's loosing boost then gaining back and fourth really fast. but the gauge never changes.
it only happends at the end of first and all through second. I can let off the gas and I have power again but if I give it pedal again it starts again.
this happends even lower in the throttle when my brother is in the car.
I have no vacume leaks that I know of. my cruise works and so does my a/c.

also it started when I changed my intake setup. before I had my cone filter attached to pvc pipe then a peice of hose attached it to the turbo.(the hose was about 4" and was from the stock turbo to airbox hose)
it worked fine then but the cone was between the radiator and manifolds (making it a hot air intake)


 now my new intake has a 4" long piece attached to the cone and the hose is attached to a 3" long pvc pip and thats attached to a 5" long piece hose(all the hoses are pieces of the stock hose)that attaches to the turbo.  now the cone is in front of the battery behind the headlights.
now I have alot more power all the time(when it's not acting up)

I thought it was collapsing the hose but I put metal rings in the hose so it can't collapse.

anythoughts on the  problem?

You have created a better 'air' flowing system and you are getting too much flow causing your overboosting... are you JeffM chipped???????? :shock:  :shocked!:  :crazyeyes:  :drinking:  :drinking:  :hockey:  :puppydogeyes:

Are you getting any codes as an overboost will set a code right away.


Hey idbeast, is that regal t-type carburated???

Yes it is, would have been nicer if it were an 87 fuel injected...

yes it's chipped. I posted on w-body forum and they think it could be plugs or wires(I'm running rapidfires)
