Tuning Boost for Quarter Mile Only

[Calan]

Is this a boost leak situation?

There's a pretty simple way to find out.

No doubt, but I still have to make a tester. Is this normal on a Big 16g? I am reading about someone who has the same issues and no boost leaks at all.

It's normal for a 16g to fall off like that on most setups, but that does seem low. IIRC, all three 16g's I've run (on both the 2.0l and 2.3l) wouldn't fall lower than 20psi or so...but every car, altitude, etc. is different. Cams and exhaust will make a big difference.

Get to Home Depot and get that tester made.

Good info, I will get it made as soon as I can and post the results.
