Boosting Problems

Hey my FD has boosting problems. I don't know if my turbos are working but when I timed my acceleration, the 0-60 mph is about 10 seconds!

I can still hear the blowoff valve still go off so I guess it's still boosting? any ideas?

How did you time yourself--stopwatch?? Get a boost gauge and watch the boost pattern!

i would double check all of your i/c piping and turbo piping. just pop the hood and rev the engine from the throttle cable and watch around you turbo's. sounds like your losing major pressure somewhere in your boost system.

The intake .....? What part? Manifold? Or around your turbo's somewhere? You definately need to get some sort of reading, borrow one if you have to from someone but get a boost gauge in there.

dustin,

why the heck are you asking this question? Did you fix your boost problem? If not it seems like your putting the cart before the horse.
