got a vacuum leak? If I am thinking correctly, if you are leaking boost badly, the car may actually be producing more boost than it should in trying to compensate. So you may be boosting at say 11 psi (stock) and only seeing 2psi cuz the rest is escaping through the leak.

just a thought.

Thats what Ive been thinkin but I cant find one and Ive had almost every hose off and the intercooler out..... the only one I cant get at is the one that comes dirrectly out of the turbo for obvious reason... Ill see if I can get at it tommorow....</P>


what kind of sensor is the boost pressure sensor? maybe its dirty... </P>


Ive got a few ideas of where to start checking so ill get back to you guys tomorrow</P>
