intercooler problem

[mean97]

i just got done puttin my ic on and took it for a test drive and i have a lost of boost everything is tight cuz i thought it was a boot but nope.........i havent had time to put my H2E on and i was thinking if i put it on will that help with my boost?

A few lbs. of boost lost is normal... how much did it lose?

[CHUCK]

your gonna lose 5-7 psi of boost...your moving alot more air now....
No boost at all? check everything for leaks...including the IC

[Matt P]

yeah like said above how much boost have you lost cuase your gonna lose some

[mean97]

i lost about 10-12.

that still doesnt sound that bad with the stock turbo... once you put the new turbo you will gain some of it back

[mean97]

ya im hoping but the ic helped my egts a lot! cuz i could only hold WOT for about 20 sec then my egts would just about hit 1200. now i can floor it and it doesnt go over 1000

Honestly I think you are fine, sounds like its doing its job, I lost 10psi with boost with mine

Did you move the MAP hose from the plennum to the hot side of the spyder? I have read that with this you loose less boost and have less turbo lag.

You dont want to move the map line from where its supposed to be. Are you talking about just moving the boost line to the spyder so its not as jumpy?
