Time for New Spark Plugs (again...)
#31
Just spent almost a month going nuts trying to figure out why I was only getting 13-15lbs of boost. Performed several boost leak tests up to 30psi and installed all new clamps thinking I was blowing past the y pipe or plenum. I even thought it was an exhaust leak so I replaced all my exhaust gaskets. I'm sure you know where this is going at this point, yea the stupid aftermarket brv was causing it. I just pulled them out and tested and I finally got full boost again. Moral of the story-Don't trust them. The stock ones work fine. On a side note when doing a boost leak test try moving the hoses in and out (and side to side) of the IC's. One of mine held fine until I pushed on it and then leaked really bad. So I had to take it out and clean up the sealing surfaces. Cheers

[QUOTE="997ttR;4418747"] I just changed spark plugs, checked for exhaust leaks as well and installed yellow springs on Forge BRV's because yellow spring supposed to work better with tuned cars and still have the same boost leak problem so after spending over 1K I'll install the OEM BRV's and I am pretty sure that it will fix the problem, what a way to spend unnecessary money just to hear a better turbo sound.
