Is it me or do I have a leak? Boost related

Ok, mods listed below minus the install of the cams.

I'm only boosting at 10 psi. I figured i would be boosting more considering that is stock boost.

How can i test my system to see if it is holding the boost?

Install a boost guage. Usually while in boost, the boost will drop. Shouldn't drop a lot. Example if set your boost control for 12psi it will probably drop to about 11-10.5psi. But best thing to do just install guage

This is why i made this thread.

I have an autometer boost gauge *mechanical* and it goes to 10 by redline. Im not 100% sure as if im full throttle i never really look at my bost gauge. My friend looked for me.


I was just curious as to why im only boosting at 8/9 at like 4/5k and by redline 10 psi.

Anyone know how to make a boost leak tester for the 1J?

well found out i had a boost leak. IC pipe popped off right at the throttle body. OMFG! When i put it on nice and tight and took it for a spin. I expected 9/10 psi like usual. This bitch creates 10 lbs instantly and then goes to 14 by 3500 omg! What a fucking thrill! I ended up driving for another 2 hrs feeling the new power! lol its 3:47 here. lolol OMG!
