the car boosts well up to 16 psi builds and then when i change and carry on it falls rite back down to -15boost whats up with it?? could it need a new -31?? or anything else u can fink off?

You do mean when you get on the power again in the next gear don't you and not when you change gear and it goes into vaccum?

Has the car been setup since it's been adjusted?

everyone gets a tiny bit of boost drop, the actuator is trying to keep the pressure the same over the whole charge system. To just drop 1psi at peak your not doing too bad!!

There is a way of not getting any boost drop though , but first I'd get it setup, sounds like your timing may need adjusting

Mine peaks at 14 psi and drops to 12 psi. Goes well, but how can you get it so it doesn't drop. I know its only 2psi but its still on the standerd ic at the mo so cant run over 14. GRS soon though!
