Boost Leak?
Hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me. I have about 9,000 miles on my car and since the day I got it boost usually peaks around 15 maybe 16psi. I haven't had a flash yet just wondering if this is normal, I thought boost levels of 18psi or higher can and should be reached on a stock evo ix

You should be hitting 20 psi tapering to 16 or 17 by redline. check the tension on the WGA rod. with the car off and cool obviously. if it is loose then you need to pop it off the arm and adjust it so there is some preload on it. Has anything been taken apart on your car yet? What mods do you have?

Boost gauge and intake that's it. I think it most of happened with the boost gauge install. I'm going to AMS this thursday for a custom flash so hopefully they can help me figure it out because mine is definitely lower than those numbers. Thanks
