Boost Loss Problem
I just got a S5 Tii JDM swap done into my 89 GTU, and I'm experiencing some boost problems. The engine is stock except FCD, 3" intake piping till the turbocharger, and 2.5" downpipe with hi-flow racing cat, sngle 2.5" straight exhaust and an Apex'i N1 muffler. I was expecting about 9-10psi of boost, and that's how much I boost sometimes... but after a bit the boost drops and holds to 7psi.
Example:
If I floor it in 4th at about 3000rpm, the boost eventually hits 9-10psi then just drops to 7psi and stays there.
Is this boost leak? Or could something else cause this?
Oil also seems to leak into the intake piping from one of the two hoses that go into it (coming from the turbo duty solenoid or the other...)
