If you hear air blowing but your not getting any psi you should check your plastic elbow, your most likely leaking.....

Honestly, only go parellel as a last option. It ruins the fun of the car. IMO

If you have a boost leak, going non-sequential isn't going to make anything better....you'll still have a boost leak.

There's a difference between a boost leak and a problem with some aspect of the twin control system. Most people go non-sequential because:

- they have problems with the twin control system that they can't solve.

- the transition tends to get more violent as you mod the car and raise the boost. Non-sequential obviously eliminates this

- they regularly road race the car and the non-sequential torque curve is more predictable with no surprises

- they are deluding themselves thinking that non-sequential is more fun in street driving.

I agree.

Mazda Australia raced there FD RX-7's in non-sequential form for the 92-93-94-95 Bathurst 12-hour. This was to ensure a predictable torque curve & get every last ounce of power from them.

Having driven there 95 race car both on the track & street, it was a complete dog until after 4000rpm & I would have hated it if it were a street machine.

Sounds like your CRV isn't closing for your secondary boost.

Check this site:

Look at the area for the secondary boost.
