Hey guys, I feel that I have a boost leak. I am going to pressure test it this evening to check it out. When I go at WOT the boost will shoot up to 15psi and slowly start dropping. By the time I get to the end of a 1/4, it has dropped to 10psi. What does it sound like to you? My mods are in my profile. I was racing a 99 Mustang GT last night and smoked his a** all the way through 1/8 and when the boost started falling off he started gaining on me fast. By the end of the race, I may have out run him by a fender. But he told everyone he out run me, so I am racing him again Friday for 100$. I figured if I could fix this boost leak and maybe rewire the pump, I could turn my boost up to 16psi and possibly hold boost through the whole race. Please help guys, makes me mad when ppl say they won when they didnt. He just didnt want to admit a 4 cyl outrun him. This time im taking a camera. If there are any other mods I can do to make me a little faster until I do the turbo,intercooler, injectors and all that, let me know. Thanks :thumb:
 
Well, the mustang didnt wanna race so we put it off for a while. Anyway, I pressure tested the car and I found a leaking injector, and the 1g bov starts leaking around 13psi. I will try to fix these problems soon and see what the outcome is.
