Pure Logic Tuning on 2010 M8 RG Tial Turbo

the det. sensor was loose in the head...... well I snugged it up. wasnt super loose. Problem solved. Gar knew right away what to tell me.
 
since you asked about the waste gate sticking what is it doing? what lb wastegate spring is in it and how many lbs of boost is it making? Why do you think the wastegate may be sticking? if you do not have any kind of boost controller you will run a air line from any where between the turbo and the throttle bodies to the bottom of the waste gate. The top of the wastegate you can hook a line up to and just vent it to atmosphere. if you have any form of boost control you will tee into the line to the bottom of the wastegate, to you boost controller, and then to the top of the gate. Boost controller adds extra presure to the top of the wastegate to hold it shut and build more boost. 7lb spring in the wastegate and 3lbs of air presure on top of the wastegate means you will be runing 10lbs of boost presure. If the wastegate sticks it will not open and will build alot more boost then you are supposed to be runing. I have never seen one stick open, but if it did it would bleed off all the exhaust presure and you would not build the desired boost presure.

I have a boost controller on my Push setup but it is not plumbed the way you describe. Mine is tee-d into the bottom of the wastegate but basically just sits in-line between the bottom of the wastegate and the intake at throttle bodies. I don't understand what line should go to the top of the wastegate? Mine is still just vented to atmostphere.
 
Yes it is.I just got it back. Ive been trying to make time to get it into the shop to go threw the tests that Travis discussed with me..Not enough hours in the day. Dropped it off the back of the pickup and drove it into the garage. Warmed it up for 10 minutes and never used more than 1/4 throttle for a couple hundred yards and cracked half throttle for a second. Looked at the guages and saw code 21. Shut it off and havent looked at it since. Ill be giving a call when I get it in the shop
