15 psi lookin for more

stock motor
had stock turbo and i put a dequick a2a and went from 22 psi to about 12 psi upgraded to a rpm direct bolt on turbo with 40 more hp . still only makes 15 psi , so i thought all the extra a2a tubing was causing the low psi , i put the stock a2w back on and still 15 psi .

i am not sure where to start looking , i do need someone to take a look at it by computer to make sure everything is ok for the bigger turbo

If you haven't done something to add fuel to match up with that bigger turbo, you're likely gonna have problems. You only get that 40 Hp if you have a decent tune in it that matches the parts that you have.

Bring it down to Car Craft... there will be a few of us around to look at it.

Still, it sounds like a leak somewhere... possibly an intake manifold gasket pushed?

Re: 15 psi lookin for more
