Engine problem? Help please!
Hey, i recently took the car out for a ride and gunned it from a start. Everything seemed fine except at about 6500 rpm or so it felt like the car wasn't making any power. You can feel the 2nd turbo kick in then it kinda flatlines and doesn't feel like it's accelerating anymore. Only mods I have done is pettit racing intake and racing beat exhaust. I have a boost gauge as well, but I didn't look if it was still making 10 psi at that point, I completely forgot to look. Any diagnosis?

Please tell me you did just start it, and then floored it. You did let it warm up first, right?

Oh ok. I dont plan on getting a DP anytime soon, but I'm curious to see if one of the hoses popped off the pressure tank. Where exactly is the pressure tank? Anyone have a service manual in pdf form?

Ok thanks a lot guys. I took a look at it and the one closest to me was completely on there, the one further back was still on there but looked like it started to come off. I pulled on it and it seemed to come off relatively easy, and released some air. I put it back on and zipped tied it and it feels a lot tighter on there. Even though I can pull it off, it's a lot harder than it was before.

Here's another thing i noticed. Most of the time i shut my car off, it makes like a pop sound from the exhaust like a last sec backfire. Should i worry about this?
