Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 i have problem with boost control at link g4 storm i have at spring pressure 1.4 bar and max 2.1 bar something going bad and i have only spring pressure at boost map have 30% target and dont get the max boost...i check the turbo if work .. put off the air line and do boost cut at 2.3 bar so.........?? run open loopcheck external,leak,air lines,mac valve,wirings,everything?

Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 i change and AUX for solenoid and nothing is same thing do only spring pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil brown Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 air leak ? unplug the vac line to wastegate actuator and see if you get max boost or boost cut will tell you if air leak or turbo isnt capable of that boost pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 i do that and i have max boost and boost cut maybe something doing at ecu? burn something,aux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi,The ideal way to check this is to check the duty cycle being applied to the wastegate solenoid by the ECU. To do this you will need access to an oscilloscope. However, not everyone has an oscilloscope. It sounds like you have already changed to another aux output channel and the problem is still happening. This makes it seem likely that the problem is external to the ECU. Would you mind recording a short PCLog and uploading it along with your base-map? Here is a video showing how to do this:https://youtu.be/_P1LRANeO4AScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Looking at the log and the MAP I can see the WG duty is showing at 38%.The map shows 28.5% in the DC table. I am assuming that the map is different to the one the log was taken from? However running your map on a Storm on the bench gives a matching DC and pulsed output that matches.If you set the output to Test PWM do you hear the solenoid working?

Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 the different is because try to up the duty % but not working and save the file storage the mac valve must be work at keys on ....what sound 1 click? or continue sound? i try my 2 mac valves at battery + - with (-) at pulse and work same good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 On test PWM it should buzz continually until the function is changed back to WG Solenoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes thats right you see that at log aux2 status i put 3rd mac valve new and is same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 from data log you see something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 In the log it looks like it is doing everything correctly in as much as it is putting a duty cycle out to the solenoid.If the solenoid is operating in test mode then it would be likely a plumbing issue.

Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 what do you mean plumbing issue? can you tell me something to do to find the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Make sure the control solenoid is plumbed correctly to the wastegate and from the intake.If you were to put the duty cycle to 100% does the car make max boost? Can you confirm the solenoid operates when testing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have pipe from turbo to right position at mac valve andwith T to bottom at westgate and from left mac valve position at top of westgate ... How check it when run if the 2 cable is 12v and other go to aux at ecu if the last is ground can do one button out of ecu and press it and look if do pressure. (from aux is + or -)?

Simon Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 The Aux switches ground the solenoid needs 12V from a key switched supply.If you have no noise when in Test PWM mode then there is an issue with the wiring on either side of the solenoid. Or the Aux drive has been damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 i turn keys on and valve is open(click) if aux 2 is damaged ...i put the valve at another aux is damaged and that? how many aux damaged? can do with switch on/off work the solenoid? without ecu only with switch 12vand ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Its hard to damage a Aux output as they are current protected and will shut off at 2 amps.If it clicks at key on then that would indicate the solenoid is being held open and should then result in max boost being applied.

Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 if turn key valve not open if put only at battery is work (click) ..... how can check if aux id dead? and all aux is from same board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Check that you have 12V to one side of the solenoid when you put the key on.If you then ground the other side the solenoid should energize (click open)To test the drives the test function is what you would use.

Giannis Leontiadis Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 i have 12v but not ground at other side from ecu but if i put the solenoid at battery (+-) is clicking ............. so something is bad at ecu can send you and fix it or at Link company?

Scott Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 It sounds like the wastegate solenoid is ok. That leaves the following options:Ignition switched +12V not reaching the solenoid.Ground (from ECU's Aux output) not reaching the solenoid.You should use a test light to check if you have +12v on one pin of the solenoid wiring connector (with ignition switch on). You should then set the ECUs Aux output channel to Test(On) and check that the other pin of the solenoid wiring connector has ground.If the +12V is missing then you should check your fuses. If the ground is missing then you should check again at the pin of the ECU.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 We can test / repair the unit if required but be sure to head over to http://www.linkecu.com/contact/ecu-service-requests/It is super rare that it is an ECU issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
