Has anyone else ran into his under boost problem???

Im using 91octane now and it still stops spooling at 8lbs....
All my pipes are tight and no vacuum leaks...

The only things different about my set up is the BOV, and my O2 sensor...
Also the Y-pipe i have comes with two holes in it for wideband and O2, well i dont have wideband so there is an optional bolt to plug it... That bolt fell out and now i have a hole there the size of a O2 sensor:nono:!

:1zhelp:

That is probably the source of your problem, regardless of the ypipe and downpipe.

The 2.5in catback.

Remove it briefly for a test. See how much boost you can make without the restriction of the catback.

i agree. try that and i would buy a boost controller if your planning on cranking up the boost. do you have an aftermarket boost guage?

Best diagram ever! You don't need to T the compressor ports together though, they are both measuring the same vacuum. I ran one of them into the boost controller and capped the other.
