Right now for some reason it is rising to exactly 15 lbs every time from around 3200 until about 4100 when it immediately jumps to 21lbs. I don't know why it is doing this... almost like a 2nd powerband. Any thoughts? I don't know what the hell is going on.

Thanks.

Hmmm

Stuck spring on your MBC?

Boost leak?

Does it feel different power wise or is it just the gauge reading funny?

most forums dont really even count your posts. this is on that does, and im glad, its kinda cool plus gives me a better feel.

speaking of post counting, does anybody know how that "ranking" thing works. like your a newbie until you get 100 posts but anybody know the other levels. ive seen on guy, cant remember his name, but he was an "evom guru". when am i gonna level up again?

Thats something that needs the car to be logged to see what could be going on...Also check the clamps and make sure you don't have any loose vac. lines or something.

do you have a mbc or still on stock bcs?

It is really a big jump in power, it feels like a whole other powerband. The only problem is that that power used to come at 3000 rpm and now it is at 4000. I am going to reset the ecu and see if that does anything, I have recently add some new parts and that may have **** on the system.

I have a greddy type rs BOV and I have heard some stories about those leaking so that could be it, but I have had it for a few years.

Where do I go to get the car logged... can anyone on here help me with that. i don;t know much about tuning and could really use some help. Thanks!

Freakin' PRP. Track is closed for tomorrow. Looks like i'll be heading out there on Sunday...I'm so pissed right now. Its like my Mom telling me at 5 years old, "Well David, the weather was just a bit too cold and damp for Santa, so it looks like Christmas is going to have to wait another day." Aaarrgghhhh!

sorry man, not sure about meet. got some final projects due on that monday following.. so i will see. As for tomorrow, i sold some stuff i have to go drop off about an hour away. will let you know.

So is that really what you ended up getting then, this is not a hoax or just tossing false ideas into our heads. Would be mad if you showed up in a supra or a ferrari or something lol
