Boost Problems
Just got my FMIC and boost gauge on and my car wont boost over 8psi.. i think it goes go 8-6-8 but i didn't drive it around enough to get the exact numbers.. i did a little searching but didn't find any real help.. heres a picture of the new setup.
In the second picture could there be air leaking out of where the elbow connects to the piping?
My mods are; pettit intakes, pettit downpipe, pettit pulley kit, catback, greddy fmic, greddy elbow, greddy type s bov, 8lb flywheel, and a pfc but its not on right now..
Any help to why my car is boosting wrong is appreciated.. thx- Eric

Probably just a boost leak from something that loosened up during the install. How does the coupler look on the bottom of the stock plastic cross-over pipe? That can be a problem.
Nice to see someone else with f'd up filters on their pettit intake.

The boost problem definitely was there before the install.. and yes i got the fmic and gauge done at the same time.
I am still running the main cat and theres probably 85k miles on it? When i bring my car back in to do the non-seq conversion i will be putting a pettit midpipe on it.

Hah, are your filters f'd up to? I plan on going single in the near future so it doesnt matter to me all that much.
