    I've been scowering the internet and as always these very forums for a couple weeks now about half boost. It came out of no where. I've seen and read countless threads and something might finally clicked for me. My BBV that looks like a hat right? It seems like its always sitting on top of the the rod. I just saw pics in a thread and i didn't know it would come back down.

    The question is if it's stuck in the up/extended position could that be causing my half boost?

    I understand about the lego blocks not being accurate but when it was showing full boost on the DIC it almost felt like i was pinned to my seat... TIA

    The BBV "rod" will always be up when its not in boost, as in its open.

    You can grab the throttle blade and with the car in Park (of course) give it a real quick rev and see of the bbv rod goes all the way down (touching the little edge of the sc case)

    @fivefinger o ok. I was hoping i found the problem. cant find a vacuum leak. but i changed the lines anyway. overall the response is quicker feels more powerful too. the exception being WOT i know what full boost should feel like.
