i found the problem. you guys were right it was a vaccum leak. it was one of the plastic hoses, i had repaired it once with a rubber hose but it came loose. i took the car out for a ride today and the boost went to 17# the dropped to 5#, i got out and looked and it came apart again, im gonna...
thanks for your help guys. i hope it nothing major. i checked to see if i had a bad intercooler hose but they look fine to me. ill see what i can find.
i think i may have a wastegate solenoid problem. i think it might be stuck closed because im only building 12 pounds of boost and i used to be running at 17. how do i diagnose this problem, what are some test i can do?
thanks guys for your help, im gonna mess with it tomarrow, i hope i find something. if i diconnect the hose off the actuator and the boost goes crazy this tells me that the solenoid is bad?
i had my car out this mourning and it seemed to be running ok then i decided to get on it and it wouldnt go past 12, i used to be running 16.5 to 17. when i got home i looked at all the intercooler hoses for any possible leaks and they all look fine. what else could cause that big of a boost...
pt51

anyone ever use this tool? im curious to if it works since i will be swapping cams soon. if it works it think the $25 for the tool would be worth it instead of going through thr agrivation and hoping the cam sensor is set right, even if i only use it one time.
i made a post on july 18th asking if anyone was using the v4s and two people said they had problems getting it to fit, QuickWE4, and MSDGN. it really jacks me off when you order something and it doesnt fit like its supposed to. i realize these guys that make parts for our cars are small...
i wasnt trying to be ignorant when i made the comment about mease performance. i actually have had good luck when it come to ordering parts for my gn. i actually dont drive the car that much, never in stop and go traffic, mostly just cruise around in it around the area where i live and on the...
i was trying to find out more about the m&a intake and heads but i cant seem to get much info. i cant even find a website for them. i talked to one guy that said he likes the heads but that is about it.
thanks for the advice. is mease hard to deal with as far a customer service? how long did you have to wait for the intercooler?i dont want to have to wait around for weeks to get it.
