I installed the IC pipes the upper and lower and now my boost level went form a 19psi stock to a 12psi already check for leaks but I can't find anything, a talked to the guys of grupees ofwhatever and told me that's that is normal an it will be resolve with a MBC is that true. I really need some guidance on this because I'm frustrated can you help me ?

 

Yes this is normal. the larger piping causes a decreace in pressure. A boost controller would solve this.

 

Did you have the same problem, and even that its marking at 12psi is the turbo actualy working harder? and with the MBC if I make it to 19psi would the turbo be working at 23psi or more I hope you understand my question

 

did you put the BOV on the right way?? i put mine on backwards on accident and i got 12psi, switched it around and whalah...boost....

 

I do not have the Helix kit, at least not yet. I have read on the forums that this is a normal occurance. Your boost drop was more than what most experience, so your best bet is to check all the connections for leaks. I understand what you mean by the turbo working harder if you turn up the boost, but i have no idea if this is true or not.

 

Well I have the Forge BOV and I have it backwards but the guy from velocity factor told me to do it that way

 

and why is this in 'site feedback and suggestions'?

 

Was the BOV in before the install or was this added with the new mod. Try putting it in the right way and see what happens.

 

Yea I added with the mods and i just put it the right way and no change

 

because he is helping me with my problem and if you don't have anything better to do or say save your comments to someone who cares

 

I would try putting the stock BOV back on if you can. Because 7psi is a bigger decrease than normal, normally <3 psi is what i have heard. I cant think of any thing else that would cause this.

 

Thaks man

 

yeah, I had only a 3 psi drop.

 

but are you still using the stock BOV or did u compensate with a MBC

 

When I put on the pipes I didnt get any boost drop. Some people say 1-2psi, thats realistic, if your boost is going down to 12psi, there is a major boost leak. You must do a boost test, not sure if you have a compressor but find someone who does and do one. When I installed IC pipes, I always do boost test after, and i ALWAYS find leaks.
