Lost boost

[David Knoff]

So parked the car last night running great. Started up today fine went out for a drive and something is not right some how I lost over 5 pounds of boost....... I have looked at all the lines no leeks at all runs great but just no only making 10 pounds. Any one have a qlue? As I said parked it and was set and making 16 last night all settings are the same.

Did u do a boost leak test yet? If not i would suggest that, make sure all your couplers are tight.

You might as well get use to having boost leaks
Suggest you make your own boost leak tester or try to purchase one from a fellow member.
I disassembled my stock size leak tester long ago so I don't know where the pieces are.

I don't know if this was the same for everyone else, but as it got warmer out, my car had less boost for some reason.

[John Hartman]

that happens for sure Jason. Normally its only a pound or two tho.

If you have actually done a boost leak test(not looking/pulling on the hoses and clamps, but an actual boost leak test with an air compressor), then I suggest having a look at your catalytic converter.  Often old ones can plug up or become damaged in such a way as to block flow.  Low exhaust flow = low boost.

 to start with, what are you using for boost control.

you said 16 psi is what it was at...  Was this on the stock boost control solenoid and lines?

2G right?
