Lost BOOST
I have a greddy turbo kit on my 2000 gsr. At first I was running no intercooler. It was at 8 psi. Today I put the intercooler on and no I am struggling to reach 5 psi. I tried adjusting the lever on the wastegate and it still doesn't work. I also pulled the hose off the wastegate and it still does the same thing. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Lost BOOST (GSRACCORD)
there is a pressure drop with the i/c but i don't think it should be as much as 3 psi. as far as the actuator i don't think it is adjustable and pulling the vacuum line on it would keep the flapper closed. the first thing i would do is check for any leaks in your piping.

Re: (GSRACCORD)
For diagnostics, remove what was added 1st. Then see if it works.
Specifically to test for leaks, use soapy water around all of your piping seals.
Also did U test your intercooler for leaks ? Plug both end pipes & submerge into water.
