So I have had complaints about my car feeling slower then it used to be. Now it feels like its barely a turboed car. At first I thought when I took my car for a free check at my dealer they cleared my tune but then went to see Antonio at JMS here in san antonio and after taking a ride in my car he figured it felt like I wasn't getting boost, or a very small amount of it.
I was told to bring it to a person here who could inspect my car and figure out what the issue is but before I dedicate the time and trouble of where my car has to get taken apart anyone had issues on your car or a simple way to find out whats wrong from what I've said? lol

Car has been problems lately and starting to dislike having it now. Like in my previous thread I've been going back and forth deciding if I want to sell it or not. Part of me wants to keep, other doesn't. Wish I could start over with a new ralliart with the parts I have like exhaust, springs and do a fresh tune.

 

Well I had this problem once where my boost gauge wasn't reading above 0 right after having some fun against a Caliber SRT-4...I thought it was my stupid ProSport gauge, heard they can be low quality...

Nope. Popped the hood and 0 was right. The tube coming off the blow off valve and going to my sensor had come off. I thought I zipped tied that ***** on tight!! This must be what it's like to drive a N/A Lancer...

Quick fix, and probably isn't whats wrong with yours (I would hope someone would have noticed by now if it was...). Most days I <3 my Ralliart but I know reality is I'm getting out of it by 2012, probably for that Ford Focus ST announced yesterday or a mkVII GTI...something with a nicer interior and better perceived reliability.

 

Yeah its not the problem. Got all the hoses and stuff checked. Looked all good. But I don't know everything lol. Hope something major didn't happen like the turbo going out. Don't feel it spooling. If i had a boost gauge installed could see what my psi is but don't

 

why dont you invest the 100$ in a boost gauge so you can see exactly what kind of boost levels you are getting?!!?

Without knowing what levels you are or arent hitting its very hard to say if its a boost issue, or something else entirely.

 

I also have popped the tube off the BOV after not getting the clamp tight enough when I installed the CAI. It scared the crap out of me when it happened.

 

What does "<3" my Ralliart mean???

 

It's teh internetz way of saying "I love my Ralliart" the <3 is a heart if you tilt your head to the right!

 

LOL! I didn't know either. I actually thought you tilt it the other way and it meant you "bag" your ralliart!

 

Wow... lol

 

WOW, wasn't expecting that one! ROFLMMFAO!

I love how this thread go so far derailed from a simple comment.

OP, if you do end up finding out what the issue is, do report back and keep us informed. I'm intrigued .

 

I will. So far no issues have been found, all my hoses aren't lose or anything, but I guess its down to boost leak somewhre or I tried today a fuel addictive to clean out that whole system, maybe in a chance its causing my power loss.

I'm trying to see this tuner to do a boost leak test and see if my tune is still there. That might be the other issue
