Just like the title says, what are some common causes of overboosting?
The ones I can think of off the top of my head are generally related to adding parts
without a proper tune, or a less than optimal tune.
I haven't changed one single thing on the motor/tune in a couple years, so my issue
is confusing me. I'm tuned for 19 psi and this morning, during a WOT jaunt on the
highway in 5th gear, I looked over and noticed my boost gauge reading about 23 psi.
I immediately lifted off the throttle but I didn't throw a code or notice any issues in
engine response, no noticeable knock, etc. I am running methanol, so maybe that
saved the motor. Who knows.
What could be causing this? Is it possible that my boost gauge is malfunctioning?
