You won't boost without load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 I drove it down the road at 4000rpm but it didn't seem to make much boost what is regular boost if it's not under load at around 4000 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Supra_07 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Take it for spin if it's boosting then your gauge is duff. If it ent get some spray and spray the joins if the engine changes tone you have found your leak. Wa la Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 No am I worrying too much because I have had it tuned yet Then it's not under enough load to really produce any boost. Get it down to a rolling road, get it tuned under proper conditions. You've got Scooby Clininc in Chesterfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
