Ok so I got my 3'' Tsudo cat-back exhaust and put it on my car and i posted pictures of it in the thread about no good threads on ebay exhausts... Anyways after the install I also installed a boost gauge. So when I started the car I was finally happy to see what my car had for boost/vacuum. The car has about 20(?) vacuum at idle which I think is good?
My main issue I am having is that when I took it out for a test drive, I got on the gas real hard in 3rd and I was kind of blown away by the amount of boost I was getting. Much more power/boost than I know that I had before. It also felt like I was hitting fuel cut as well but I have never before. My car is stock. I know that I am only supposed to get about 9-11PSI at stock levels and our systems can run 15 safely. The gauge was registering maxed (20) for a second before it seemed like all plant power failed hard and I had to let off the gas.
Is this begin caused by boost creep? Possibly my boost gauge is wack and I am only hitting 15 therefor stock fuel cut? I am just worried about my engine blowing on me because I just rebuilt this engine about 4000 miles ago. Any help would be VERY appreciated! Thanks.
