I would do the normal comp test, make sure your wastegate is working, check the timing. Start taking things out of the picture.

thanks for all the ideas guys. with the help of levi and tim we got it straight. pulled the hose off the wastegate and put a bleeder valve on it and that solved the problem. successfully running 15 psi. thanks again.

i got busted for racing on gulf to bay like an idiot and carbednotch92 bot busted for blowing a stop light at 83mph. when we went to court he heard the judge ask me what kind of racing i could do in a 91 ford p/u. so nick came up and asked me what i had and we started talking to pass the hours and hours of waiting to get out of jail. good times.








JAIL SUCKS!!!
