Fp Big 28

[tpunx99GSX]

ok so i got the new turbo on. now comes troubleshooting.
heres my mods:
fp big 28
hks SSQV bov
ngk plugs
intake
boost guage.-
elite mbc
and thats about it.
the t25 seems to boost higher and have more uumph when the turbo spools. there is no check engine light, the engine seems to be running fine, no ticks pings or thuwumps, no smoking out the exhaust. it just seems like i have less power now that i did the turbo.can anyone guess what might be the problem here?
on the up side, the screaming from the bov is gone on spoolup.

First thing is first: Check for boost leaks.

Tom what do you have the boost set to? If you have it set to high you could be running lean causing your car to knock and pull timing like crazy. Try just setting boost to stock setting and see how it feels. If everything is ok and there is no boost leaks it should have way more power than the T too slow because the air flow is going to be way more efficient even at low boost.

And yeah I second Matt also, anytime you do anything like that do a boost leak test before anything else.

CRAIG :goodluck:

how loose is your bov set?

get IC piping, exhaust, and the rest fo the supporting mods.

Probly just feels slower as the car is not as torqey (sp) without the old snail. I have heard the same complaint from a person who now has a 14b on. It is just more laggy and power delivery is more gradual instead of the instant spool of the T2small. What boost are you set at? You do not want to go too high without any supporting mods (fuel and exhaust). Screw the ic pipes ;)

i started out almost all the way out and continued to turn it up but it wont go past 10 psi, it levels off, which makes me think that there is a major boost leak.

yep, there must be a leak.

No, I was being sarcastic. He said he thinke there is a leak. I was just confirming it for him.
