Hey people

I own a p130, it's got a egr delete and the n75 has been simplified.

I'm getting no boost till 2k rpm then it goes, it's almost like driving a sdi up to 2k ?

I've replaced all vac hoses and vac tested everything for leaks

I've put chemical metal around the tandem pump vac pipe

I've checked the actuator is moving fine

All OWV are working fine

Checked for boost leaks (not that it will cause it to boost from 2k up)

I'm at a dead end and dunno what to do next.

Hoping someone can help me get my car back to its potential

Thanks

My Kerma Tune does that a little bit. Needs 2K to start performing. I avoid "cruising" <1800 RPM.

I'm unfamiliar with a p130 or n75. Sorry.

Good luck.

The actuator could be moving but is it opening at the right time? If your actuator is not opening between 3-5 hg that will be your problem. Hope to hear back

I have the same problem after replacing the turbo and vnt assembly. Low boost and really dogs below 1500 rpm, then by 2000 rpm it hits and has great power. Really frustrating.
