    Help with Rotrex lack of boost

    Interesting, glad to see you got it resolved. In my case I have a blow off valve and it is holding shut because I can get up to 9psi. But I hope mine has to do with just the placement

    I still don't see how the location of the bov has anything to do with it leaking or not. If the lines are plumbed correctly, it shouldn't matter how close or far from the TB it is....

    Help with Rotrex lack of boost

    I thought the same at first but it functions perfect until a certain point so it's super strange. I'm going to get a go pro, slap it under my hood and go for a spin and see if that is what's happening. If not, not sure what else is causing this behaviour

    Help with Rotrex lack of boost

    Hey guys, my IAT sensor just decided to give out, went to look for a replacement and seen se discussion on 8th gens about using an obd1 IAT since it bolts into a flange. Just curious what a lot of the Rsx guys are doing about their IAT. I guess I never thought about a leak occurring from there and was wondering if I should do the same

    I use an obd 1 IAT sensor on my turbo setup. It uses a 2 screw flange. Works fine for me.

    Help with Rotrex lack of boost

    Thanks. It looks like a sturdier setup than oem. I'm going to try a suggestion from Adam rsx first, if it doesn't work I'll try the the obd1. Input is always appreciated!

    We use obd 1 on the 8th gens because our IAT sensor stock is built into the MAF sensor. So we delete that and use the less restrictive IAT sensor instead, and it is just really easy to get obd 1 IAT sensors, pigtails and flanges.

    Did you ever figure out the boost issue?

    No, I tried pressure testing the system with an air pig but can't seem to get a budge on my boost gauge so not sure if I have to borrow an air compressor now, guess it doesn't flow enough to fill the charge pipes. Hopefully I can try some things this weekend
