Building Too Much Boost?
It is cold outside and from time to time a car can build an extra pound or two of boost because of the cold weather, correct? But can a vehicle build eleven pounds of extra boost because of the weather? My novice instincts tell me no. However my boost guage is certainly reading twenty pounds. One thing I noticed is that the wastegates are dumping hardcore, and it almost sounds like they are popping open before I shift, I would guess due to boost (9lb springs, I have 2 evos if you are wondering why springs is plural). My air/fuel is reading a tad richer when in the powerband (normally about 12.2 down to 11.0)and the car is feeling fast as shit. No kidding it is feeling like a friggin rocket, definitely not the same. It is spinning like crazy in Fourth, this is new to me.(Don't ask how this is possible, it just is) Unless someone is playing a joke on me or just F'in with me is it possible that the AEM automatically compensates fuel in the boost reference table proportionally to run a safe amount of fuel and retard the timing all in one package?
