Okay so I finished the FMIC. While cruising i noticed that the turbo boosted like 10 psi but after a few seconds it dropped to 8. What's up with that? It needs a rebuild soon. But before the FMIC it was making like 10-15 psi.

 

Gotta leak somewhere?

 

lee...gotta means got to....got a means have a



get it right



and yea it sounds like it could be a leak somewhere but thats weird to go up and then down



btw ---- you have any news on that short shifter i asked about a whileeee ago

 

Up and Down indicates a boost leak.

 

Okay, I shall inspect the tubing this evening.



Thanks

 

you will notice pressure drop from your FMIC in other words. turbo puts out 10 psi but when it gets to the manifold you are down to 6-8 psi..... it doesn't matter on large turbos but the top mount was there for a reason no pressure drop

 

Yeah, the stock turbo can't fill up a larger IC very well.

 

yah if it had a boost leak and the stock ecu it woudnt idle either, i like voskos answer

That makes more sense. The air is cooler so it has less pressure correct?

 

actually colder air is denser so it would have more pressure
