Z32 TT guys... Need suggestions as to why running safety boost levels...

[S13CoupeLuvr]

Hey everybody. I've got a friend here in St. Louis with a '91 maroon TT and he just had the JWT ECU upgrade installed and the JWT Pop-charger to go along with it, but the engine is running on safety-boost levels (claimed 7psi). Anyone have any suggestions I can give this guy? VGs are too complicated for my tastes... He has original O2 sensors in the car (71,xxx miles on the car), and I made an uneducated guess that these may be problematic. I also already suggested that he reset the ECU, for the Pop-charger may have been installed after the ECU was. More suggestions?

Look in the tech section.

Mine was running safety boost because of faulty knock sensor.Look up the secrtion on ecu diagnostics. Should give you a code 34 for knock sensor.

Knock sensor was going to be my first suggestion... did you guys install Boost Jets as you were instructed w/ the ECU? You won't run any higher boost without the boost jets. ECU just adjusts the fuel maps and retards the timing a little for the higher boost levels.
