I have a normal boost pattern when I lightly accelerate but if I go wot or heavy on the gas I get no boost at all. But if I start building boost the go wot I don't have any problems in that gear until I shift.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

boost pattern are usually achieved on wot..

check your coupling at the ypipe..

 

When step on the gas slower (lightly) and reach wot, I have a normal patteren but if I just mash the gas I get nothing.

 

I checked all the clamps but still no differance. I did notice I do get some boost when this is happening but only 3-4 psi. Starting in 2nd gear if I hammer it and go wot I get full boost, shift to 3rd hammer it (wot) I either get nothing or 3-4 psi to redline, shift to 4th and get full boost. It'll do the same if I start in first except I won't get boost in 2nd. Also when I'm not geeting any boost and lift off the throttle there is a strange sound. It sounds like air but its not a normal bov sound.

Is there any type of vaccum canister or something that could be bleeding off? This is my first 7 so I'm not really sure what type of valves or solinoids controll the turbos.

 

You're not alone dude, I've got the exact same thing going on with mine. I going to be checking out everything when the weather here in NE decided to cooperate for a weekend. I'll let you know what I find. Please let me know if you figure it out before I do.

 

Sure no problem. I was just checking everything over and couldn't find anything. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for but I'm still lookin.

Can some one please give me some idea? I checked the y pipe twice for cracks and could find anyhting.

 

Do a search for boost leak, when you get a chance.

This is what I came up with real quick. boost problem

 

It's possible that you have a sticking actuator rod.

Check them make sure that they arent frezzing up or something.

It could be alot of things, but you need to get a workshop manual.

and then start going down the list and checking it all out until you find your culprit..

...and go here if you haven't already.

 

check the rubber coupling the connects the ypipe to the turbos....
