not sure if you know it, but you have a hole in your hood.

i forgot about that gaping hole as your cold air source lol



so what do you think is causing the 8lbs... could be the pill? maybe you switched the boost control and prespool actuator? wanna try temporarily using a manual boost controller just so you can rule out a couple of issues

in the 80s today... and im only seein mid 50c air temps..

not sure on the 8lbs... went over the install again to check if anythin was missed...

went full sequential... theres no more precontrol.. only thing ive left is the wastegate control....

maybe this needs to be switched.. am i required to pull the pill off the wastegate line....

uh last time I checked yeah. I was doing some reading up on how it was done and spoke with my mechanic (Rotarded) about the things a few times when I was having boost issues.



Pull the pill and on the other forum there's a bunch of write ups about how it's done also incase you want to tripple check yourself.

would think it'd be true for both though wouldn't it? Not needing the restriction that's built in since you have an aftermarket item to do it.



Do you happen to have a different hose you can just take off and try that's not got a pill and see if it works? Can't hurt as long as you're watching your levels.
