My Boost Keeps Droping Up and Down
i got a d16z6 with a garrette t3t4 turbo , turbsmart 38mm Wg, i jsut bought the car , the car was runing 15psi solid , and now i noticed that sometimes it drops to 12 then 14 and always different , wha could be the problem ? checked all the vac lines and charge pipes any idea's would be great thnks guys

well check the boost spring and see if that might be the culprit since u said u already checked the vac lines and charge pipes, also if ure bov is faulty and maybe seized it could be leaking boost, ive heard of that happening b4

i hope you're using a different MAP sensor than the stock one, the stock ones are only good for 11psi.
Without knowing if you're using a boost controller or not, its gunna be tough to figure out any problems.
Could be a potential problem with the wastegate, the bov, a boost leak or the boost controller. If its a manual boost controller and the little set/locking screw isn't tight, its possible someone/something turned the boost controller down some.

is the car louader? it could be a crack in the manifold, but check your charge piping and couplers for leaks and tears. also make sure your BOV is tight enough but no so tight that your getting a compressor surge.

i just checked out my downpipe and it has a crack in it and also my manifold gasket seems to be a lil old could that cause the boost drop and i hear a bubble wen the car is idleing , could it be the downpipe or the gasket or wha else??

^yes, that could very well be it, if you have an exhaust leak, expecially with a turbo, there's not enough back pressure, i'm not 100% sure if it'll effect boost, i have an exhaust leak and i still see 9psi but that could be because my motor puts out more exhuast gas (comapred to a sohc) or i still have enough back pressure.
