Thread: FWI installed!! ...still not getting full boost though...

what are you using to monitor your boost? How do you know that you are only getting 80% boost. Pleae tell me you are using something other than your DIC gauge.

Went over all the vac lines and FWI connections with carb cleaner last night to see if there were any leaks, and found nothing. I also put the BBV back to the factory location. It seems to have helped a little, but usually, it'll start out lower and it'll have to build up to full boost.

All I've got is the DIC. I don't have a real boost gauge....yeah yeah yeah, get the fancy one that plugs into the OBDII port...don't have the cash right now. However, I'll look and see if there's anyone local with a scan tool, I think there might be someone.

Say I do find a scan tool, what would I be looking for as far as boost, as would it be registering in PSI vs %?

Thanks,
