Al, help!

Could this be an issue with the flash?

I was driving the car yesterday and I hit 6000 rpms through the gears. In 4th, I suddenly sensed a loss in power and the car would not boost past 14psi. The MBC is set for 20.5.

I pulled over, checked all hoses and connectors etc. All of them were intact. Started it up again and all is fine, it boosts to 20.5 now. No repeat of power loss.


I have:
Hallman Pro MBC. Stainless Steel Ball with stronger Spring
Vishnu Downpipe
Vishnu High Flow Cat
Bushur cat back
Dynoflash
Ralliart drop in filter
Dejon Tool Turbo Connector
JDM MR Diverter Valve
Perrin Boost Tube

Did you get an CEL ? This is bizzare - never heard of it before. Only possible thing I could think of is fuel starvation if you were running low on gas?

This happened to me once, my BOV got stuck open, I felt the loss in power but I cant say I remember it having 14 psi or any psi for that matter, I pulled over and just started looking, found that the BOV had jammed open, hope this helps
