I'm running a ovs turbo kit on 06 m7. Its a aerocharger 53 running at 10lbs of boost. Took it out yesterday to test it out. This kit maybe has 50 miles on it. Sled was building boost and everything was working fine and thennnn........
Then like you flipped a switch....... sled wouldn't hardly build any boost... maybe 3-4lbs... Seems like it hits a wall at 7500rpms. I was thinking maybe I blew a weld on the pipe/y-pipe, so I took the pipe off and checked it, everything looked fine. I was gonna try switching pipes (just incase it blew on a seam and I can't see it).
After tearing into that, I double checked all the boost lines thinking one had come off or blew. I couldn't find anything wrong there.
I did get it to build 10lbs of boost one time after it started acting up and I almost crapped my pants because I wasn't expecting it to work, my buddy was just as scared as all he seen was belly pan and track coming at him! (was after about 10 runs across a field with it stumbling and falling on its face)
Its got me stumped! Fuel pump take a dump (still seeing 38psi at idle)? Power valves maybe? Any help or ideas guys?
