HELP! Lost boost? Where did it go?
Heres the deal. I used to hit 20 lbs easy and now I can only hit 16. The only thing I changed in the car was that I had injectors welded into the hard pipe and now its like I have a boost leak or some thing. What are the symptoms of a boost leak?

he's got an after market turbo setup and carbed, safe....though I might say a carb gasket or somthing simliar blown? Maybe running to rich slowing the reving down which lowers boost?

Well, my car has amazed the hell out of me again. I found out that my acc. cable wasn't pulling the linkage all the way.....which means that the whole time I have had my carb turbo setup the four barrels were not opening. I fixed it and HOLY ****!!! All my problems gone. I have no traction in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd! I pegged my 20lb boost guage out no problem. Stay tuned for more info when I go out tommorrow for tuning!
