losing boost?

Blue04skittle · 02-09-2006, 04:12 PM

I have been having a problem with my stock boost gauge not reading right so it obviously needs to be replaced but I just put on my custom made cold side pipe and greddy BOV and now the gauge is reading about 6psi. That is still about 5-6 psi lower than it was reading. I know there is the adjustment on the top of the bov but does that adjust how stiff the spring is or does that just adjust noise. I called Racing Zone and they said its just noise. I thought it was stiffness. Let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks
josh

okay thanks. hey slowpoke you have stage 3 but did you upgrade to a 30 psi gauge or do you still have the stock gauge? If you have the bigger gauge and want to sell the other one let me know. I know i can get an autometer gauge but i would prefer to get the srt gauge again.

I wouldn't listen to anybody at Racing Zone, there are only about two people there that have a damn clue, and one of them is a dick......you figure out which one!
