I just installed my turboxs MBC on my stock 98 spyder, and I've noticed a woooosh noise inbetween shifts, and when I back off of the throttle sometimes. (similar to a BOV noise). I no the stock Bov's leak bad over 15 psi but the highest my boost goes up on my gauge has been like 12-13psi, and that's if I step on the throttle hard. The boost level mainly hangs around 1-7psi when driving normally. Should I turn down the boost on my MBC or should I leave it how it is.

Also when I do step on the gas hard to get my boost level to go past 10psi, the car shudders and jerks, kinda like it's not getting enough fuel from the injectors, or could it be the air/fuel ratio??

Sorry for the long post???
 
1. Fill out your vehicle profile.

2. If i you drive a 1g the bov is good for way past 15psi, if you drive a 2g the boost is only good till 12psi then it starts leaking.

3. The wooshing is probably the bov, unless it does it when their is no boost, then try your throttle body gaskets, and intake manifold gasket, they could be leaking, a boost leak test will find this out for sure.

4. Do a complete tune up of the car if it is shaking, plugs, wires, fuel filter, do a compression test, boost leak test etc.
