Put in Mini Battery- Gettin Lower Boost

Yesterday I i put in the mini Battery kit from Buschur. Everything works great but i noticed on the MR boost gauge, boost once was just a 1/4in pass the last number 1.5. now its hittin right at 1.5. Not noticable wot but still not what it was. It was tuned at CBRD. I have a Hallaman B.C....why would this happen.

Change in weather could make that difference as well.

its probably just a coincidence that you just installed te battery and you have a boost leak or something, def do a boost leak test that will tell you for sure if its that or not

Hey man- are you going to input information or just type b-s? You honestly think I believe the boost has any direct relation to a damned battery. No. I noticed boost was lower after the install. So save your demeaning comments for someone else and thank to the rest of you who put forth actuall information. @ss.

I always noticed boost slightly lower in the lower gears and higher in the higher gears.

And it sounds to me like you were at a little over 1.5 bars and now you're showing at 1.5 bars? Is that right? That's small enough of a change for weather conditions or even a very very minor twist in your MBC. If you crank up your MBC a little bit more does it go up at all?

You could've bumped the MBC (dunno where you have it installed) or a boost line while doing the battery kit install...
