Salmon Arm,
Alright, here is the problem....
the other day i was fooling around and took off my BOV hose that blows back into intake, so it makes that cool sound.. (i had never done it b4 so i had 2 :shhh: ) ya ya cool sound, crappy running. so i put it back on had it off for 10 minutes max. so anyways put hose back on. later in day i hacked my air can apart put back hoses and now my car doesnt really have that much power any more. I have taken the air hoses off lots b4 so its not that there on worng and leaking. i have new plugs and i just checked them after this... my guage says im spooling up normally but i just dont have that much power as b4. my car doesnt pull near as hard.. im wondering if it is the ECU getting used to running rich for that 10 mins with the BOV redirected or my 02 sensor orr could be boost leak. I have checked all connections and they look good. i only unclamped 2 hoses to hack air can. i have no idea. help
 
sometimes when experimentin with new things, when you make the change, disconnect the Negative side of the battery first...and when returning the original setting, still have the battery disconnected first.
 
Is it bad to pull the hose off for a louder sound cause i wanna try it real quick but i wanna amke sure its not goona hurt anything.
 
Just unhook the battery, and the hook it back up, this will trip/reset all sensors in the car, including the ECU. This should fix the loss of power issue(if the power issue is electrical) other then that, check your modded can for any sort of leaks... make sure when you put it back in the intake all clamps are secure and tight etc.
 
Well i just got my boost guage in, and im boostin fine, no leaks. not enough power as b4 so im gonna reset ecu.... i guess when i was running rich with BOV hose off it messed something up wutever. i guess we see tomorrow
