MHD N55 Stage 1 Possible Boost leak?
Hi guys,
I just installed MHD stage 1 on my N55 but it seems it doesn't meet the boost target. Is this a possible boost leak? Everything looks alright, except the STFT and boost under target which leads me to believe that there is a boost leak but my question is, shouldn't WGDC be 100% because it should be closed to meet the boost when a boost leak occurs or it's not a rule of thumb? Attached the log. https://datazap.me/u/minulache/stage...og=0&data=4-16 Many thanks for the help! Last edited by minulache; 05-20-2024 at 02:05 AM.. |

I know Ken @ Wedge does the MHD OTS maps for n54, but I'm pretty sure Twisted Tuning does the MHD n55e OTS maps.
minulache, I don't expect you'd ever see 100% wgdc% on the n55e OTS maps. From all the n55e OTS map logs I've seen, they all seem to have a pretty big gap between boost target and actual boost, so it's hard to say. Your stft% goes pretty negative during the pull as you said, so you may be right about a boost leak, but that could also be fuel system related. Probably worth doing a boost leak test. |

Tomorrow I am planning to do a boost leak test, just got the tools to do it today. On virtual dyno it shows similar results to stock, so it's like this stage 1 is not doing anything.

Tried today to smoke test but I am smoking from the inlet pipe on the turbo, so that is not the cause of the boost leak...I cannot seem to get it to pressurize so I could actually see from where it's coming from. Any ideas from where to smoke test the N55?

if you are smoking from the inlet pipes, that will def affect your fuel trims. That leak is downstream of MAF sensor and will absolutely affect how the car runs. you def need to replace the inlet pipe gasket

Tomorrow I will remove and retest on the inlet pipe on the turbo, not the one that leads to it. I also think there might be a problem there. From where did you get a metal one? The only option I could find is the VRSF but I'm not keen to get something from them

okay, we are talking about different spots on that pipe, I thought you were talking about the spot where it goes to the turbo.

See this thread also. I had air leaks before and after the turbo requiring new gaskets on turbo inlet and a new pipe to the intercooler on turbo outlet.

So also the gasket that leads from the inlet pipe to the turbo is gone, tested today. Ordered the gaskets and gonna give it another try with all the new gaskets to see where the leaks lead me )
