Unplug the boost solenoid and see if anything changes?
Btw forgot to ask you what oil filter relocation kit you used. Im looking at this one on summit

Problem solved. Car was originally NA so doesn't have the plug for the solenoid and its not in the tune.
I am an idiot and assumed the solenoid was normally open and closed when pulling boost, so I trashed it and hooked up the vacuum line strait to the actuator. Now I realize that the solenoid is normally closed and bypassing it was making it pull boost all the time. Felt like such a noob. So I got rid of the line going to the actuator and now I'm seeing 11psi. Whole different car. This is what I knew it should be. Boils the tires off in 2nd with a quick blip of the throttle, and these are pretty sticky tires. Can't wait to get the tune dialed in so I can rip on it.
Ginseng,
I'm not sure the part number, but as long as the threads are right I would think it would work. The one thing I would do is make your own stainless hoses for it with 90* swivel hose ends on each side. Will make it a much cleaner and easier install. I had the hoses that came with the kit leak pretty badly.
That's interesting. I wired the solenoid into the pcm, and I still get the exact thing you seen. 4lbs max boost. Not really a big deal to bypass it, I just wanted that stock boost control, for some reason.Quote:

NO ****!Quote:

Just tell Harold and Daryl Dave says Hello!
Heh, funny story about that. There was a Saab in there last week that I thought was yours (it wasn't). Was asking them who's car it was and showed them a pic of your car and they said they knew you. Small world.Quote:

Yeah I saw that build, they are pretty awesome when it comes to big custom project undertakings.Quote:

Tell them I'm still trying to figure out the rear end clunk, I'm thinking about disconnecting the rear sway bar and see if it is still there. If it is, then either rear trailing arm poly bushing is shot or something in the strut. Either way the subframes are coming out of the car and powder coated and all new bushing will be pressed in.
Nice car and congrats on the award!

Thanks man. Was great to see/meet everyone and get some recognition for all the work I did.
I could stare at that motor all day
It was great meeting you last weekend.
Incredible car, to say the least.
Thanks. Nice meeting you too.
Walked a C4 Vette today :)
But C4's are complete turds.
Maybe 200hp from that LT1.
still a vette doe.
i ran a C3 once. pulled on him real hard.
made for a good laugh lol
Yup, it was a turd. Still a fun race and another kill for the grocery getter.
my favorite ones are young kids in new v6 camaros and challengers.
to see their face as my old 4 door pontiac with that broken power steering pump walks them, is priceless, every time.
Hey how did you do the quad tailight mod man nice addition to the car
