so i have having a huge problem holding boost past 17psi. i thought i hada huge leak. i pressure tested the system with nitrogen and couldn't find a single leak.

i took apart my boost controller and put it back together and i loosened; repositioned, and tighten my lower IC pipe and all is fine..

i can now hit 28psi+ with 0 problems and the car feels super strong..

just wanted to give an update

You running 28 psi. just shows me how big a sissy I am. I dynod at 18 psi, but I'm scared to run anything over 14 psi regularly. I don't know why I would need any more boost though. I can play with GT's like it is now. Do you have any new videos that you've made recently?.........................lol

its a bosche bypass valve, the one people often use in the stock location. His is vented to the atmosphere so as it relieves pressure (and thats a lot of it) it pops up. He runs two of them to help move more air, probably to cut back on compressor surge.
