87580, Not boosting
Posted by SilverESiT, Jul-02-05 08:30 AM
Ok so i have hrc turbo kit. Just yesterday i had intercooler piping made and put on along with an exhaust. Before this it was boosting at around 5-6 psi, now it only boosts 1 1/2 in first, 2 in second, 3 in third, does not ever go higher than 4 psi. Could it be a possible boost leak somewhere? Is it not gettting enough fuel? I also do not have a boost controller. Since the extra air is comming in and going out should i get a boost controller and turn it up?

if you just had the intercooler piping made, i would definately check that for leaks

I had some one make the piping for me. He ran heater hoses from the intercooler to the piping and its spiral so the air isnt going straight through. I am taking it back tuesday and i will let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for the help.
