Some issues.....
After installing the intercooler I am having some questions...Am I supposed to lose 3-4lbs of boost? Others told me like maybe 1lb, but I took it to redline today just to see how much boost I was getting and I only saw 5psi. I am on the 8psi pulley and normally saw 9psi...Pretty sure I dont have a boost leak anywhere, it idles and runs fine. Also how will my tune be affected by this? I mean will it run rich because I am seeing less boost, or will it adjust itself according to the boost? I am on the 3.60 pulley right now,so do I need a 3.12 to see 10psi??
I know for sure that I need a bigger bypass valve. Its giving me alot of compressor surge if I rev above 2500-3000 rpms...How will this affect the car until I get a bigger one? |
I would change the pulley and see what kind of difference it makes. it could rule out the boost leak, or confirm it.
there isnt a kink in your boost gauge line, is there? |

Maybe belt slippage?

Adding an inter-cooler means lower temps. Lower temps means less pressure, right. So, if I am not mistaken, I think you should see less boost.
You should swap pullies now and you need a tune. Adding colder air is a different ball game. I am no expert, but I think this merrits some consideration. |

you should see 1-2psi less in most cases because the intercooler causes a restriction thats where the boost loss comes from. You got to have a leak. I would think you should do ruffly 7psi with that pulley. If you got 9psi before then yeah its low.

did you ever find out what was wrong?
