Thread: Bucking issue at full throttle

Nevermind, Im a moron. I misunderstood the blowoff valve connection. There are several areas where there could be a leak between the MAF and the turbo inlet.

I am gonna pressure test the system tomorrow and see if I can find any places that unmetered air could be getting in. The thing holds boost for sure so I dont think there are any leaks on the pressure side.

I really suspect it might be overwhelming the MAF. It made 215whp at 7psi in Hawaii where it was 85 degrees and 65% humidity. Now I am hitting 9psi when it is 30 degrees outside. It has to be near that 250whp threshold listed for a stock MAF.

I believe it. The cost of living nowadays for Hawaii is sky high im sure. I've yet to go, but hope to vacation there soon. Any luck on your issue yet? I'll be back in Norfolk next week and maybe we can both resolve our issues then if you haven't already. Good luck.

Well, i currently feel like a complete moron. I went and checked the spark plug gap, my bkr7e's were at .45 and from what Ive read a boosted sr should be around .32 or so. I regapped the plugs and took it for a spin, it runs like a champ! I am holding 8-9psi all the way up to redline. I dont want to assume it is fixed just yet, but it sure looks that way.
