Hey guys, heres another thread by me Anyways, I was reading Robrobinette's site and I went to the Boost section. I dont have a boost gauge yet because I spent the money I had on this that needed to be done asap. So yeah, I read the boost section and it said to manually check the boost do the following:

- get to 3rd gear and drive with normal acceleration at 35 mph
- once your at 35mph with normal acceleration, drive at WOT... at 4500RPM you should be approximently (sp?) at 65mph.

I'm at about 60-62mph when i'm in 3rd gear with a wot at 45000rpm

am i having a boost issue???

No, thats not a boost issue.
A boost issue would be your car pulls hard untill 4500 RPM then drops in power and never fully recovers.

oh, then what kind of issue could that be? anyone with a bone stock FD that can do that test for me and tell me your results???? id love you for life. i dont lose power at all it just gains tremendous power after like 3k or 3.5k at wot. so what kind of issue COULD that be if any?

The car should make full boost by 3,000RPM and hold it all the way until 4,500RPM, when the second turbo comes on. At that point, there will be a dip in boost, which should recover back to full boost once again.

You should not be diagnosing your turbo system w/o a boost gauge. Doing so is a waste of time, as you can not determine how much pressure your turbos are producing by the hairs on your ***. A boost gauge is very easy to install.
