1/2 my boost has fooked off!!! but where?!??
drove the car last night for the first time since October last year....
I had peak of 18psi then...and held fook all (pace poo item)
but now its peaking at 11psi and holding 11psi....
But I have installed a much bigger Radtech intercooler since then and last night was the first time I drove the car with the new intercooler!!!!
is this why?!?!?
and do I just get the Boost setup again by SCC!?!?!?!?
(I swear I didn't touch the actuator, bleedvalve!! as these have DO NOT TOUCH written al over them)
P.s. Strip you cars of all their interiors...especially all the sound proofing in and around the bulkhead!!! as it sounds like the car is on twin carbs!! sooo cool!!

could it be a boost leak from somewhere... sayimng that, the car probably wouldnt idle, maybe not even start
Dodgy gauge... keep it like it, it'll be fine, and santa pod should be a breeze for m.. Im only running 11 too

Good lord!
All we were pointing out is this:
If you were running 18, and are now running 11, that isn't HALF!
Anyway, you have to halve the boost you're running, and divide it by your out of town fuel economy to get the B.P. ratio - then we'll know how best to advise you!

fook me how did u get your new job mr dumb ass....
SMALL INTERCOOLER, LESS VOLUME, LESS AIR REQUIRED TO FILL SO MORE BOOST
BIGGER INTERCOOLER, LARGER VOLUME, MORE AIR REQUIRED TO FILL SO LESS BOOST
STREEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSs

larger pressure drop across your new intercooler would be a better reason

come on then everyone explain where he is going wrong!
do you think because he fitted an intercooler with a larger volume it will half its boost because of boils law?
P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 ????
well there is a mayor floor in this plan
the volume of air isnt static,, its dynamic because the engine is eating volumes of air
