Last time my FD was tuned I was having some leak by on my BOV. After installing the new BOV, I never got my max boost through the winter. I figured that I needed to adjust my BOV some more but never did because I hadly drove it. Well I adjusted it today and I am consistanly running ~2psi less than I should under my tunned psi values(high/low boost). What do think? Is my boost really off or is my meter not reading correctly?

Hmmm... If you turn your boost up 2 psi, you read 2 psi higher, right? Check that first.



I'd start checking couplers and vacuum lines next.... If, of course, when you turn up the boost you get no response.

My boost gauge is autometer...Can you just increase your boost without changing anything on a tuned car?
