I test drove it, while in 2nd gear, i pushed the pedal down, but did not floor it yet. The boost shot up to 31-32psi (which has never happened before) and made some weird noise (turbo surge??) so i quickly let off the gas pedal. The whole thing lasted like 2 seconds. I let off the gas pedal as soon as i saw 31-32psi. I knew something was wrong. Then the engine shut off I pulled over. I tried to start her back up but it wouldnt. I waited about 5 min. I then tried to restart it and it worked! It seems to be working fine. The turbo is working fine too. I dont understand what happened... Any ideas??
I test drove and rechecked everything. I did not find any problems except that with the stock clogged up intake manifold, i would boost to 29psi and it would hold 26-27 psi in all gears througout the gear. Now it barely spiked up to 25psi and it would taper off to 20psi. The new setup pulls a little better at low end as well as high end with slightly less smoke compared to my stock clogged intake manifold. Is the boost tapering off because the pd150 manifold and racepipe are alot less restrictive?? Did anyone notice that? The Boost levels are a huge difference compared to stock mianifold so Im a bit worried is i might have a boost leak?
