Finally!!!!!! I'VE GOT BOOST!!!!!! YES!!!!!

It was the stupid ------ piece of nylon cloth that we put on the turbo intake. I thought and thought before I even came up to the conclusion that that was it. I cam home from work today and took the cloth off and left the wire screen on. When I had the cloth over the wired window screen cutout the cloth was stretched so then no air was able to enter intake on turbo. VERY RESTRICTED. Now I Learned...

NEVER EVER DO WHAT I DID. Use an actual filter or just a wired screen for testing at least.

I've got about 10lbs of BOOST kickin right now... Fun but scary! VERY SCARY. Lots of fuel cutoff. I'm gonna need to go and look at making a homemade boost controller and lower my boost to 6 or 8lbs before I blow my ---- up.

THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLIES PEEPS!
