Boost Question:???
I have the TAP Stage II chip and TAP cone filter conversion. Running this setup I get 14-16lbs boost. When I put my stock air box back in, I only get 10-11lbs boost and WAY WAY less torque. Why is this?

This may have to do with the cone filter conversion...
The stock airbox is more restrictive when it comes to air intake... the cone airfilter allows a greater amount of air to be ingested with less restrictions.

Re: Boost Question:???
I have the TAP stage II, but with a stock filter (dealership tossed the DTM filter)
I've noticed on mine that at times it will get 14-15 psi, and others it will only hit 10-11psi. If I'm running 14-15, and get off/on the throttle, the boost only goes back up to 10-11, so I'm guessing I have a bad bypass valve.
You might want to check yours.
