hey, i tried searching, couldnt find any1 with this problem, please help. i got a injen intake system with the intercooler piping and intake pipe. after i installed and went for a drive, it doesnt boost all the way. i have an 05 MR and the boost gauge shows that it only boosts to like .7 my car is soo slow now. i checked all the pipes making sure that they wernt loose or anything. i cant see wahts wrong.

my only mods are the intake and a perrin cat delete and a megan racing exhaust. can anybody help. thanks!

 

What, do you think this is a N/A machine? Why did you get an intake? Why didn't you just stick with a HKS or K/N panel filter? Your actually robbing yourself of HP than actually gaining it, but i bet your turbo sounds louder huh...

Do yourself a favor, lose the intake and go back to stock or drop in panel filter.

 

did u change the stock vacuum hoses?

 

excuse me arthimetic, hes asking for help, not ur personal opinion on wether on not he should have an intake. if he wants an intake let him have an intake. its been dyno shown that intakes actually do make more horsepower then stock when properly tuned. maybe that is why he got one. just because u cant afford an evo doesnt mean u have to knock other peoples modding path. do us a favor and step the hell out of this thread.

now onto ur question, make sure u check all the hoses, also make sure ur BOV is tight and not leaking as u might have a boost leak. it has to be something slipped off or isnt tight or on right as i have the same system in my car and it pulls hard all day long. so make sure u double check everything!!!

 

#1 find a Stock vac hose diagram for the boost controler , dont forget that brass pill . Make sure its right .

#2 Do a boost leak test , look in my sig there is a link to it .

 

lol, thanks everyone for your response. ill check all the hoses and everything. thanks evoleved8 and matt55 for your input. hopefully i can figure this problem out. thanks!

 

Also, don't forget to get a flash for that intake!

 

well i defend arthimetic...he was helping ...getting an intake as a first mod is a waste for the evo when the stock airbox is perferctly fine...could of spent that money better on something that would actually give him gains in power and not probs now he has to get it tuned which is about 500 bucks and that intake is what 200 bucks soo 700 bucks when he could of got a exhaust, mbc,licp,flash anything better than a intake,it prolly goes nice with his HKS bov if he has one. And i would not tell anyone to get out of any thread..if he wants to post in here he can and he is not "knocking" anyones modding path...so plz dont get all offended...now shut the hell up. On a side note he drives a G35 also soo i think he can afford a evo.

 

i guess i dont get any thanks!! o well...people these days

 

lol they did just repeat the same suggestion u gave...where is his thanks man

 

yea..but i said it first...

 

yeah thats what i ment to say lol

 

o okay...Thanks

 

but-but-but i said leak test and he didnt

 

i know i didnt go into details...but im pretty sure im heading him into the right direction
