    boost drop - 57 trim ct26

    Hi guys trying to keep this as brief and as informative as possible. The issue: Boost drop at high rpms. ~16psi down to ~11psi ...also worth mentioning it only makes 11psi max in 1st gear and 13 (also drops to 11) in 2nd. 3rd is where it will hit 16psi and then drop at around 5000+rpm...

    Boost alarm?

    When I upped the boost on my 88 turbo I started hearing a solid ding very very similar to the "key in ignition, door open" alarm. It comes on when the boost gauge reads about 7 or higher and stops when I let out. Only does it when I pass 7 lbs of boost. Do the mk3's have a warning alarm?

    Alright everyone it's been awhile since I've posted on here but I got my build complete'd and have finished breaking in the motor. Now I'm starting to work on tuning it, but as soon as I go into even low boost (2-4psi) the fuel pressure drops all the way down to 15-20psi. I've tried adjusting...
