OEM wgs working properly cannot boost past 1.2 if that...
Hey Mark. So what was determined to be the cause of his issues? The tune?Originally Posted by MARKSKI@911tuning
I had a client with a similar problem... wen thru the whole car... did fix a bunch of stuff as the car used to be a 700 hp setup returned to stock... it did need a re flash though... OEM wgs working properly cannot boost past 1.2 if that...

Thanks guys.
Try this, it's the cheapest fix of all and worked for me when I had an overboost after swapping intercoolers and having a leak in one of the hoses. Disconnect the battery for about 20 min, reconnect and go drive it so the ecu can readapt.Originally Posted by BOOSTD
I'm seeing my car boost and hold to 1.5 bar in 3rd and 4th gear on my stage 1 GIAC tune on stock turbos. GIAC said I should only see 1.3 max. Anyone have any ideas on things to check for to see why this is happening. I'm going to check lines to my wastegates to make sure their unobstructed, but don't really know where else to check. I'd appreciate any pointers.Thanks guys.

Dude....that might have worked. I disconnected the battery for 30 min and then did a quick 3rd gear pull. I'm saw 1.2 max this time. Going to keep an eye on this to make sure it's all good, but so far, 3rd feels stronger too. Thanks for the tip pwdrhound!Originally Posted by pwdrhound

Just like you said Mark, it came back. My N75 came in yesterday so I figured I'd start there. As I was taking things apart, I saw one of the hoses to the N75 was disconnected. I hope that was the culprit. Left the original N75 in for now, reconnected the hose and disconnected the battery. We'll see in a few days if this fixes it. Thanks, everyone, for all the tips so far.Originally Posted by MARKSKI@911tuning

I think you found the issue 
Weird...Eurocharged said my ECU looked like it had a stock tune file and confirmed this to be the case with a local Porsche dealer. Getting my ECU back hopefully this week with the EC tune, but still puzzled about how the GIAC tune disappeared.

something doesn't add up... a P car dealer usually has no clew anyways....
are you paying again for the tune?
Didn't know EC ( from Chicago?) tunes Porsches...

Not sure of this has been said. But you you do not want to boost your turbos or egine that high. You will run out of fuel, or damage your turbos. Get the mechanical prblem professionally fixed. This is not a tune issue.
