    Vaccum Leak Averted?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So during the summer, I swore I had a vaccuum leak as I could only boost to 19-20lbs and hold that till readline, but now as the weather has gotten colder I'm boosting back to the 24-23 and holding at 21psi like I'm supposed to.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    where do you live? Cold air is easier to compress than hot air...

    I live in Ohio - before last winter my car boosted 23-24 and held 21-22 psi till redline, then messed around with the Uni and it dropped to 19-20 (similar to RXREP) now its back to how it used to be.

    Possibly Wastgate?

    I was running meth - I tuned it down recently since I'm running the EVO COMP FMIC and dual nozzles with only minor tweaking.

    PM me - I think i'll replace my map sensor then.
