What do you think?
Compression test was done correctly on all cylinders= Disconnected fuel pump, ran gas out, disconnected coils, pulled all plugs, held throttle to floor, turned over 6-7 times.
Here's how I over-boosted!
2011 built 5.0, Hellion TT. Was boosting at 8-9 lbs, 93 pump gas, tuned by Lund, (compressor side of turbo connected straight to WG's). I will add that the whole time I've been smoking(could always see it in mirror after boost, no big hard runs just aq 3rd gear pull), well I assumed it was because I only have passenger-side catch can (not enough venting so I knew it had to be blow-by(Valve cover breathers were order and should be in very soon, to rid that problem). Anyway so then, saturday my eBoost Street controller was installed. Set it up per instructions, set my "Over-boost" to 11 lbs(my target boost was 9). Then per instructions, as a starting point, I set my set-point(SP) to 20(0-99 range), as per instructions. Then I set my Gate pressure 5 lbs prior to my target boost, as per instructions. Then set my sensitivity at 20 as a starting point, as per instruction. Then took car for a straight line pull and I heard an unfamiliar sound(like a rumbling?), that was at about 6,000 rpm or so a big puff of black smoke along with a back-fire. I stopped and checked the "Peak boost" on the controller which was 12.8! I felt sick to my stomach and still do.
So I creeped home, on the way the car felt like it was missing. Pulled the plugs and 3 Brisk plugs were fried, the ceramic around the electrode was loose on all 3. I replaced temporarily with my motorcraft plugs(wasn't able to compression test at the time, wanted to see if car would idle properly again). It did idle properly and smoothly, so I reset the eBoost controller way low and took it for a ride, did one data-log and sent it to Jon ll Lund(waiting to hear back to see what he see's). BTW I'm off work today because otw to work this morning I stopped at a redlight and some of that white smoke came creeping right by my window and I just turned around, went home, I wouldn't be able to function properly at work anyway.
Well there's the story. Any questions? any advice?
