    Boosting problem need help.

    Also i found a leak in the boost gauge line where its attached. Replacing that today, but i still dont see how that means i was making 30psi without a regulator, especially when i saw 8-9. And why is it barely ahowing any boost with the tegukator hooked up??

    Boosting problem need help.

    So why do you think its making so little boost now? How could he have got 30psi? And should i pull the controller out and go back to how it was, when it seemed like it was actually making a fair amount of boost
