Recently i installed some new mods, before i did i had 3in tbe, intake cone and ams tune at 23psi. I added ets fmic with pipes, jmf intake pipe, ported manifold and turbo and 02 dump. and im only getting 20psi?? whats the deal. i did a smoke test and no leaks?!?
thanks

 

turn the boost back up, you did add a bigger intercooler

 

re-tune for sure.

 

The volume of air is different. You will loose boost pressure by adding that stuff for the volume the turbo has to fill.

You did a boost leak, or did you smoke test with 26psi??

 

I have an appointment the 21st of this month for the tune. I dont have a mbc yet, it was set thru the flash i guess.... thanks guys!

 

My buddy took my car to work( audi dealer) and did the smoke test but only 15psi he said, thats all it went up too...

 

do a boob leak test..you can make one from lowes for like 10 dollars

 

didnt know you can get ***** for $10

 

lmfao

yes a "boob" leak test is your best better for sure but as the others have stated you added more volume for the turbo to fill which equates to a boost pressure drop
