OK "Fast and Furious" this morning.. not so much now..
 

OK, I got my kit installed in the wee hours of the morning. Boosted great.. felt awesome.. Gauges looked great..

Boosting now.. gauges look great.. car is now slow as ----!

Boost gauge says i'm boosting fine.. Responds with throttle presses.. any ideas?

I've never blown an head with boost before.. only NA and you know sure enough when you screw something up NA.. I don't know, maybe the boost is compensating for the loss of compressino in head which makes it drive, but I have no power.. possible?

cough... spring setup cough...


If thats not the case, drop the exhaust (if you have a stock cat) and do a test drive.

Hahah.. Spring this. :P

I'm just running a dump pipe right now. It's not hooked up to my exhaust.. hellah loud and obnoxious, but boosted like mad.

I'm going to compression test it whn I get home. I'm really thinking I blew the head. I'll pull the valve cover and see if any parts are just flyin around inside.

It's weird.. it's totally driveable, I just have no power. (Less power than even with N/A). I had to have broken something.. Are heads more likely to go out than blocks with boost applications?

sounds like u blew the ring lands. no compression no power.

I MY GAWD! I'm a schmuck.. Someone flog me with the ------- newbie stick.


All the complaining I have done about losing pressure.. guess what it was? Well, I thought I would be crafty and put a shop towel with a hose clamp over the inlet as a little filter.. STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!!! :'(

Even as thin as it is, it doesn't allow enough air flow. I guess I'm going to have to come up with some other ghetto thing to filter the inlet.. any ideas?

Re:OK "Fast and Furious" this morning.. not so much now..
 

a filter perhaps? LOL

how about.. seran wrap?? no? hrmm...

you could just pop on a metal screen for now.

lol, not bad, I tapped my WG into the line that contained the check valves for the MAP during the weee hours at the end of the install. No boost control anyone......lol :-[

Sounds like your loving your new found boost!! Lets see the install pics....... :)
