Wait, I Can Explain My Low Numbers, I Promise!

I think we should have a thread that the guys who dyno'ed and didn't do as well as they wanted to can have a chance to explain!

I'll start!

Well Saturday was disappointing dyno wise with my VR-4 (243WHP). I cutting out at high RPM and barely building boost. Shane said he I was running extremely rich and I might have a boost leak.

The next day, on Sunday, I can happily say I found the boost leaks and fixed the issues.

1. Boost leak at intercooler piping clamp. Clamp had loosened off.

2. O2 sensor was faulty/defective, misreading and causing the car to run extremely rich. I replaced the O2 sensor along with the clamp, and reset the ECU. The car runs great now, builds full boost, and doesn't sputter/break up.

So what are your excuses?
