Not hitting boost target. MHD log help
Ok just got a 2015 E84 X1 35i. N55 with PWG I'm pretty sure. ~117,000 mi
Installed the Evolution Racewerks CP and VRSF 7.5HD FMIC over the weekend. Have the car on XHP (stg3) and MHD (stg 2) OTS tunes. Filled up with some ethanol to make ~E30 today and try the Stage 2 MHD E30 maps. Also decided it was probably a good idea to look at logs finally. I did a quick before and after but realized I'm far short of boost targets. What's curious to me is the WGDC doesn't seem to much exceed 50%. If I had a boost leak shouldnt I expect the WG and thus turbos to be commanded to near max? After some reading and inspection I'm pretty suspicious of the boost solenoid vacuum system. I can pretty easily crush the fabric covered line with my fingers. Could that cause the issues seen? I can see the boost solenoid installed is Pierberg, were they OE or does that indicate it was replaced at some point? https://datazap.me/u/bl79/x1?log=0&data=3-4-14-19 Last edited by bL79; 09-23-2024 at 10:19 PM.. |

A lot of detail is over my knowledge, but I am certain the OE solenoid is Pierburg. I recently had mine replaced and used a Pierburg unit.

That's helpful, thanks.
Debating if I should R&R the solenoid and hoses or just the suspect fabric covered hose. The fabric wastegate hose routes over the exhaust manifold so seems like an insulated option is desirable. Doesn't seem like that difficult a job but I'm not super looking forward to wresting the hose off the WG or solenoid nipples. I guess sometimes when the solenoids fail they make a pretty obvious noise but I haven't noticed anything like that. Hmm maybe Ill try to pull the line off the solenoid and vacuum test it with a mityvac Last edited by bL79; Yesterday at 02:18 PM.. |

Always a good idea to replace the old vacuum lines with the upgraded silicone options. It's cheap, and then at least you can rule that out.
Seeing as you installed a new charge pipe and intercooler, double check all your fittings. Hopefully something as simple as that! |
