As a means to extend my help and services to the community I wanted to create this thread. Those of you with problem via CEL or mechanical difficulty you can't figure out, please list your P number and your symptoms in AS MUCH detail as possible.

Let use this format for all inquiries (copy/paste):

Year/Make/Model
Modifications
Tuned?
Last parts stock or aftermarket installed
Last maintenance done in 1 year
Type of gas used
CEL/Problem

posts like: "my car like runs bad i think" won't cut it :lol:

From here I can try to help you solve the problem. :cool:

my boost is inconsistent. Sometimes it hits 19 psi and sometimes is just stops dead at 12 or 13 and just holds. When I get on it from a stand still it almost never goes above 14 psi. I looked for leaks and couldn't find anything.

Didnt you solve this? I think you should take MBC apart and clean it out and make sure lines are run where they can't be pinched when the hood is down.

I'd just re-route it out of the way make sure its not kinked anymore.

yeah I rerouted it and everything and it worked for a while. It came back just a week or so ago. They definitely aren't kinked anymore. I am going to take all the lines off and replace and clean the mbc out. I'll keep you updated.

For sure, that's weird.

I only had that happen those symptoms once when the hood kinked the lines
