Do I need to plug any lines that go to the evap canister or anything? I checked my couplers and all my connections from the turbo to the throttle body are pretty tight I just don't know where I am loosing boost, it is a t25 and when i sit and rev it in neutral it just can barely make it to half a pound. What do I need to do?

 

drive the car, put it under load

 

are you sure your gauge is in psi and not bars?

 

it says 'press' on the guage I am assuming it is psi because I don't know anyone that would ever run 20+ bar. So under load it should boost more? or what difference would it make over neutral? I remember my old saab would only boost under load but I thought it was just the way that car worked. sorry for the stupid q's just new to the turbo world.

 

yeah most cars only go into boost under load. However i can hear compressor surge when i rev in neutral.

 

I guess I will have to drive it then, I just didn't want to put it on the road until I was sure everything was working ok, this is good, I was thinking it would be something worse, I will let you guys know if it solves the problem, Thanks

 

Well how much boost under load did you get?

 

soapy water in spray bottle
srpay all couplers
and vacs
to find leak

I haven't driven it yet, but I now realize how dumb my question was, I will let you know the numbers when it is done

 

putting down 5 pounds easy, just need to clean up my street tune.
