Default HELP!!! Low boost problem....
After trying Ron C's car I realized that I was getting alot less boost that I should, 12psi tops!! I used to get from 15-18 consistantly. The only recent thing I did was the "air box mod" could this be the issue? It's not the BPV I already replaced it. I also unplugged the ECU to reset everything.

Default Check all the hoses. Did you reset the ECU?
Oh, wait. I was there for that. Sorry, I couldn't help it. :-D


I hope you find the problem.

If that was the case, our cars would have performed the same. Plus, it's wasn't really cold.
