Yes, I've already researched similar topics for the past hour and no, none of them sounded like my issue and half of them were unanswered.
After my terrible service purchasing my Punishment Racing FMIC, the terrible seems to be sticking around. Finished installing the intercooler late last week and for the past week I've had nothing but issues, tearing and putting back together and headache after headache with it.
After the install I took the car out for a ride it drove alright and when I got on the highway to give it some I only could get 5 psi out of it. I'm on the stock t25 stock injectors no mbc, all stock, I was boosting at 12psi perfectly fine before the install. A few days ago my problem was that I was still at 5 psi but when I got on it in 2nd or 3rd gear I would boost a little and then its like the car hit a wall and stopped boosting until I shifted. My problem now after a 4th time of dinking around with this is that I am hardly boosting, at 1-2psi, when I get on it it hardly does anything. When on the interstate I let off the throttle and the car before the install would be at 20 on the vac gauge and now with the issues I let off the throttle and I'm at 10 on the vac. Also when going up a hill or accelerating in general my stock boost gauge will show full boost but I wont hear any air being sucked in from the intake when before it was loud. Also my stock boost gauge shows full boost and my aftermarket gauge goes from 10 to 0 on the vac. and hardly goes into boost even when getting on it.
Any more questions I'll gladly give the info, pics, etc. to help figure what is going on. Thank you for the help in advance.
