How can this be?

:thumbdown How can you upgrade most of your car and not be able to run faster than when stock, I just don't understand, I think I've done everything correctly over the past year and tuning logs look fine but I'm apparently not making the amount of power I should based on my mods. Would a compression test tell me if I may not be getting everything from my engine, I mean nothing is leaking or smoking it just isn't strong?

Then your pretty close to where you should be.

I have to say that increasing flow with your UICP and air filter, and BOV, and MBC and only putting a muffler on the back is just about cancelling out your intake mods.

For a Turbo car to Breathe you need to work backwards.

Meaning do these FIRST:

Muffler
Catback,
Hi-flow or NO-cat
Downpipe
Port your o2 (usually skipped till turbo upgrade)
Port Manifold (also usually skipped till turbo upgrade)
MBC

then....

Datalogging,
FMIC,
Fuel pump,
injectors,
Fuel Control

Ect.

I understand its easier to do the intake stuff first....but when you get serious about safely increasing your cars power Start from the back and work your way forward. If you increase the Exhale capability, Inhale capability should be next so your engine isn't blowing through a coffee stir straw cancelling out your mods.

Good luck.

Hope you understand where I am coming from.

I'm sorry about that. I never went back and updated my profile, I thought I did. I have all the upgrades in there now.

Well if you have all those parts and your running slower then stock, you've got some issue's.

Post up some logs and maybe we can help.

Make a boost leak checker and if thats good, your clutch must be slipping like a madman.

Or something like rings, or valves.

Hope its the clutch or Boost leaks though.

Good luck.

Don't know how to post my logs on here, but I have a new 2100 Act cluth that I don't smell burning like the stock did and the revs aren't speeding up like its slipping so I don't think it's the cluth, can I have low compression without showing visible signs?
