slow
 

OK THIS IS MY SET UP:

STD MANIFOLD
ADAPTER PLATE
IHI RHB5 (PROBE)
PROBE BOV
Y8 HEAD/Y7 BLOCK
V-AFC, DSM 450
2.5 INCH DP

MY QUESTION IS MY CAR FEELS SLOW
I ONLY GET 5 POUNDS BOOST(THOUGHT THESE TURBO'S WERE SET AT 7-8 POUNDS). MY QUESTIONS IS DO U THINK I HAVE A BOOST LEAK, SHOULD I TURN UP THE BOOST UP I WANT TO RUN 10 POUNDS, ALSO DOES THE AFC SETTINGS IN THE FAQ GOOD FOR 10PSI. I WANT ABOUT 170WHP, DO U THINK I CAN DO IT WITH THIS SET UP. :-\, DO U THINK IT COULD BE ANOTHER PROBLEM, ALSO I DID NOT CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS YET TO COLDER PLUGS I AM GETTING PISSED, I WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH AT LEAST BEFORE IT IS STORED. HOLLER BACK

Re:slow
 

did someone forget about the CAPS LOCK?

170 whp is really pushing it on that turbo. its a hella small snail. whats the boost reading on the afc say? the guages are known to only give you a rough idea. just double check all your gaskets and make sure there is no leak on the charge pipes/mainfold/turbo.

Re:slow
 

HOW DO I READ BOOST OFF OF THE AFC ???

Re:slow
 

FIRST YOU TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK

i'm not too sure if you can, but i thought you could. i don't own one

make sure you check for any boost leaks

Re:slow
 

check for any holes in ur charge connectors... especially the one off the turbo. those tend to rip all the time if u dont use a silicone one. or u might have mad exhaust leak but still even with it at 5psi that ---- should pull a little bit. does it feel faster then stock?

Re:slow
 

You should be able to hit 170whp at 10 psi wwith that turbo. You should check for leaks and I've personally never seen a ihi push over 6 psi with stock wg setting.

Re:slow
 

so 10 psi 170 is obtainable ;D
anyway, the reason i thought the turbo was actuated at 7-8 psi was because it was on the turbo projects page :-\
if i do turn in up to 10 psi should i keep the afc settings from the faq or richen it up even more :-\

Re:slow
 

I think that you will have to change a few things.

Re:slow
 

leave the settings in the faq for 10psi that should be enough. if you can take it to a dyno and get it tuned there. the best would be to get a t3 turbo so you'll push more air. then at 10psi you'd have about 215-220hp

i am thinking about just getting a compresser wheel and housing from the t-bird rhb5 and make a little hybrid :)
