only getting 10 psi...
Hey guys.
after my gauge installation, i was seeing 14-15 psi of boost. it slowly worked down to where now i'm only seeing 10 psi. with this came a small reduction in power. I checked all my gauge connections, map line connections, air filter, and cant seem to solve the problem.
any ideas? thanks!
Edit: i did run my tanks really low this last time, so maybe clean FPR screen???

I doubt the FPR screen has anything to do with boost levels. Maybe the gage is just messed up. Try checking it against a known good gage or just disconnect it and see if it runs better. 14-15 lbs seems a bit low 10 psi is really low....18-20 is normal....no mods.

th upipes on the exhaust right by the turbo is the most common, however i have seen the manifolds themselves leak on high salt use and bolts rot off.
14-15 isnt bad, i have ridden in plenty of stockish trucks that peak at 15 psi. some just produce more than others.

Ok, so is it safe to assume that if i dont have an exhaust leak, i do have an intake leak?
I kinda planned on replacing those boots anyways. joe, didnt you just do that for yours? where and how much for the boots?
Thanks guys. I tried to rep both of you but need to spread more love lol

hmm, it wasnt my intake boots. i dont recall it. but if yours are leaking you will probably have a black oily residue all over them. and the turbo snout where the hose/worm clamp is would possibly have some as well
