Hey team,

Just saw this on YouTube. Just got posted a few minutes ago. I haven’t watched it yet but posting here if anyone has interest.

He said something about "overboost", after several revisions and logging. So I'm not quite sure what actually caused him to overboost.

Yep homie plumbed the solenoid wrong and ran 100% WGDC by accident. Oops

Damn that sucks. What a way to go out. Poor engine ran hard for 2 weeks the checked out.

For real. That's why you always go easy on it and make sure you're not over boosting before you go WOT! I plumbed my solenoid wrong last time too and caught it almost immediately.

I was trying to install the AIRTEC inlet and I bumped the solenoid hose and it felt apart. Barely even touch it and so glad I actually noticed something looked funny. Looks like that’s going on the BI-yearly checklist of things to make sure are in good working order.

It sucks but two things first Ya plumbing but swapping the the hoses on the WDGC is like wow big oops. Second is 10 revisions? That sounds like an awful lot. I don’t know how many my first tuner did because it was on a dyno all I do know is it started tossing codes on me.
Second tuner and current took 3 revisions to dial it in. It’s been great ever since.

Agreed. I also had my hoses swapped initially, but knew that the boost shouldn’t come on hard at 2300RPM and consulted my tuner immediately. I’ve had my 280 for installed for about 20K miles now.

Almost would think the tuner would pick up on the boost via the data logs.

I did that once and I think I made 500whp for a split second.

Yeah I'm a little confused myself on that. I had some weird fuel quality issue and my tuner picked up on it immediately.
