I do know what bov means, but thanks anyways for thinking I'm stupid


Thinking? You are proving it on your own. You need to stop, pick up a book(Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" is a very good choice), and educate yourself.

The verdict:
You ARE making boost. 20psi i would say. It feels really weak, because it isnt properly tuned. Also because it isnt properly tuned you are a few pulls away from blowing your engine.


I started reading the thread, and before getting to any of the replies I thought to myself. "I wonder what 20psi on stock injectors feels like"

You are probably building some boost....but i would say the gauge is off. at idle you should normally be around 15" vacume. What size turbo are you running?

.57 compressor wheel trim, 50 A/R compressor housing, .63 A/R turbine housing. T3/T4 hybrid wet float bearings.... That is the specs that I was given

I can't bear to read anymore.

The only other real thing I can think of is to check and see if your waste gate cotter pin somehow came off. That happened to me somehow, and I was like "wtf wheres my b00st"



I roll on steelies. Work-in-progress daily-sleeper potential.

I think you should take it to someone that knows what they're talking about. Rather than just listen to some guy.

I'm working on that.. I'm in contact with Ryan from rd fabs and I'm also in contact with speed fab, waiting on them to tell me their new location so I can take it to them

Yea, but in the mean time. I'm also trying to figure it out myself until I can get it to them
