Haha yea, but that road is usually deserted in the morning, never seen a cop there! The one day I decide to speed, I get caught lol

No gauges? Do you have EcuTek and a cable? Too hard to troubleshoot without more info.

Just give MrC a call at the shop your pretty close so I am sure he could help very easily.

Yea I'm just beginning to get familiar with tuning so a great deal is going to sound foreign to me. The shop is currently closed today. I called a few times and get the answering machine.

Either way I'm not sure as to why I would have this issue at all.

Saw you dropped off the car on Sunday. We're closed today due to the snow storm. We'll take a look at your car on Tuesday and give you an update. It sounds like it could be a vacuum leak but we won't know for sure until the tech looks over the car. We'll give you a call on Tuesday to give you an update.

I am sure they will get it sorted, last time I saw that issue it was the eval hose behind the throttle body had come loose.

Just curious, what rpm does everyone's boost come alive at? I don't seem to be getting the boost till 5.5-6k rpm...I swear it was like ~4000 before. And when I look at my boost gauge it reads at 3psi until it hits the 6000+rpm mark. Is this normal? Maybe I'm just being paranoid...gotta test it out some more later or something, but just wanted to hear other feedbacks

The ptunning equipped car I rode in made 3 psi by 3k Rpms or so and 6 psi by 3500 or so. Ptunning also posted a boost plot in their main thread.

Yaa see I was getting 6psi around 4k rpm or so but now I'm staying at 3psi until 6k rpm n it'll go to 6psi momentarily

You probably have a boost leak. Boost pressure is probably leaking out from one of your couplers on your intercooler piping. Check all couplers and vac/boost hoses.

Also check your exhaust pieces pre-turbo. A leak there can cause a slow responding turbo.

But the cop let me go with a warning which was weird...thought I'd be arrested lol
He just took my license and insurance, then goes to his car for few mins, came back and walked around my car, and told me not to speed again lol

Thinking your little angel used all her magic dust today. Best be legal on side streets until she comes back from flying to the second star on the right and straight on till morning.
