Fri, 01 October 2004 00:55 1.5 psi to 2 psi is quite a signicant drop at a set 14psi just due to higher air temps. I would do a quick search for a leak somewhere, if it is still idling at the rpm as it always has I would check for leaks anywhere between the turbo compressor and the throttle body. I know that my turbo is at the limit of it's efficiency range on 20psi on my engine so I am not surprised that I see a slight drop in boost (of 1 to 1.5 psi) once the air temps increase form below 10 to over 25. I wouldn't have thought that 14psi would have your turbo's near their limit and I assume you run a decent intercooler too? As even if you can maintain the exact same boost levels but in one case your engine is taking in nice cool air and in the other case it's taking in hot air the cool air will make more power and more importantly feel better to drive. Edit: Saw in your sig that the IC dimensions and that should be doing a fine job. [Updated on: Fri, 01 October 2004 00:56] [Report message to a moderator]
