Im having a major problem! I started a wire tuck today and once I was finished I drove the car and it would slowly creep to 5psi and stop there. I retraced the vacuum lines from the wg to the boost controller and from the intake manifold to the "t" where it goes to the bov and boost controller. The lines arnt kinked or unhooked and that is the only thing I could think of that could cause this.

Anyone know what the hell is going on? Anything is appreciated!!!

 

leak test

 

Double ckeck everything,sounds like something got disconnected.

 

Boost leak test is our friend !

 

Yeah, I would definitely double check everything then do a leak test

 

What is a wire tuck and why could it be related to the drop in boost level?

 

Look at the bright side....with only 5# of boost you'll be able to run a sh*tload of timing advance and really lean out the fuel table, and, even on 87 octane regular, you'll get zero detonation.

 

Wastegate pressure is 11psi so something is definately wrong. You either have a huge boost leak or something is definately not wired right.

 

Did you check the hose that goes to your boost gauge? Check at the point where you tap into manifold pressure and also pull the gauge out of the pod to check where the hose connects to the back of the gauge. I once had this line blow off and boost readings got pretty funky.
