Hey everyone,
So I changed my intake back to stock and have a 2g to 1g bov adapter, I have the stock airbox and hoses running from the intercooler to the throttle body. I used to have metal piping with the 1g bov mount welded on and an injen cone filter. I was also running 15lbs of boost before i took my boost gauge out and it was running fine. Now here is the problem I only changed the air filter and one side of the intercooler piping (intercooler to throttle body), but when I go to WOT past 3000 rpm my car starts to shake and NO more power is made, but the turbo continues to spool loudly, possibly a boost leak? Maybe too must boost for the stock intake setup and its running rich maybe? I have no idea, I have taken it back to the shop and they are working on it, but any ideas? Also, it is not a t25 turbo anymore i believe it is a 14b from a 1g. Also my mechanic said the old BOV was leaking and he put in a new gasket and it is fine now so maybe it is building a lot more pressure now causing it to run lean at higher rpms with WOT so probably try turning the boost down back to 12lbs or so but I also no longer have a boost gauge in anyone know another way to get a accurate reading?
Please any help is appreciated.
