You have mentioned this a dozen times. I hope you understand that this is not your issue right? A turbo that is not balanced will destroy itself. So, if it is not screaming itself to death (scraping the wheels on the housings) its not that unbalanced. If you have ran it for 500 miles at stock boost, and it is not leaking or whining, its not your issue. Your posts seem to suggest that you blame the (maybe lack of proper) turbo balancing for boost fluctuations.
No no no, not at all. Im just rather nervous with my car. I dont like destroying things or pushing things to or near their limit without confidence in their validity. As im unsure that the turbo is balanced properly and that i dont know what an unbalanced turbo sounds like, if anything unique in particular i can only assume that the possibility of a WOT run at 11 psi peak stock boost, the turbo could jetison itself into my intercooler is real. Perhaps my inexperience is bringing about overcaution but that is how i must aproach things.
I have an inkling that IRL/IOP is resposible for boost fluctuations but thats just a guess, i need to verify if this is true or not and im sure how to do that. If actual load goes above requested?
I will get my hands on a 3 bar fpr asap and get the car SW back to stock and post my log when i can with the variables needed for assessment.
Make sure that the stock file you have is calibrated for the proper MAF and injectors. Then get some logs; IDC shouldn't peg. Then up fuel; log again. Don't change load/boost.
Problem is, i have logs i took before that had stock boost levels of 11 psi with stock fuel system and fuel parameters and stock MAF where the IDC was unusually close to 100%. Problem is i didnt log the right variables to determine why it was so high, bts or whatever. I will be logging those now.
How did you decide what to do if you aren't able to log?
I am only recently wary of running a WOT log as the turbo rebuild was only a few weeks ago. Fueling changes were done a while back and i took logs before and after to verify. Did research to determine LAMFAWKR was the primary pathway i wanted to use for base WOT fueling.
