I got the Gillis Valve on tonight, went and drove it, wasnt hitting much boost but didnt have to wait on the stock boost control anymore. I adjusted it, still didnt hit much, finally got it to where it spikes to 17 PSI maybe 16 PSI, then falls down. It only hits like 15 PSI in first and second, spikes to 17 might be 16 in third, holds there for a second, falls down in the 4000-5000 RPM's range, shift to fourth, hits 17 PSI again, might only be 16, stock gauge sucks, RPM's go up it falls down to 15.
I dont see what the point in having the valve is, if the boost only goes up a little, for a second, in a couple gears.
The car is also hesitating a little up top, it was doing this before but is a little worse now. When you get into third and fourth, with some RPM's, it starts hesitating, I need to check fuel pressure but the gauge I can borrow has a fitting for a GM. Could this be the fuel pump not keeping up, I dont see how, car is pretty much stock?
It is pulling harder, except for the hesitation. It's on there EXACTLY like the directions said. Is the turbo just too small? It really only pulls harder in the mid range though because the boost just dosent stay high enough in the upper RPM's. I was getting 14 PSI before the Gillis Valve. Is the stock exhaust choking it maybe?
