Hi again Y'all,
A while back my RS2ed urS6 lost boost. Instead of maxing out at
something like 27-28 psig it began to max out at 13-14 psig. The
engine otherwise ran perfectly. No misses. No stutters. Smooth as
silk. Just not as much power as I was used to.
Since then the following has been done (not necessarily in this order):
1. System pressurized - it holds pressure - no leaks of any significance.
2. Pulled WGFV. Cleaned it with carb cleaner and sprayed
innards with kroil. Reinstalled and boost was back to normal for
about 5 minutes. Then it dropped like a rock in the middle of a high
boost run and has not returned since then. New WGFV is on order
(hasn't arrived yet).
3. At this same time I pulled the lower WG hose from the WGFV
plugged opening to WGFV to prevent an air leak and went for a
run. Still low boost.
4. Later a stumble under boost developed. I pulled the coil
pack. Plug boots showed signs of possible problems. Two were brown
rather than black. I installed a spare set - used but good
condition. Stumble gone - good. Boost still gone - bad. Retorqued
plugs. They were not loose.
5. Forge BPV pulled, cleaned, reinstalled. No change. Stiffer
spring ordered (back ordered).
6. OXS replaced (Bosch 13913). Old one looked like it was
probably the original one and was snow white and due for
replacement. No change.
7. ECU pulled and replaced with a spare - no change.
OK, what have I overlooked?
