I believe SP1 is WG springs only. Reaches ~7psi


take off the controls of the eboost all together DONT run it. just a staight line from the turbos to the WGs
than tell me what boost you get

than take off the lines and go drive it. slow adding RPM and whatch the boost(dont overboost it) try it and get back to me.
are you on a stock bottom end?

Im not sure about the F-Body turbos, but these turbos with the corvette kit do NOT have fittings on the compressor housings, so Im using a boost source in the charge piping pre-TB.....With that said, its a huge pain in the *** to remove the SS braided lines I put in yesterday and re-do the routing for testing what it reaches on the WG.

The car is still on jackstands now, with the bumper coming off soon, so Ill see if that massive boost leak fixes the issue before I do anything else.

No, I have forged internals.

Its an AEM. It hasnt worked right since I put the turbos on. I dont know if the little bit more of excess oil is messing with the sensor or what.


UPDATE: ITS FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I said, there was a massive leak coming out of the passenger side IC coupler. Pulled the bumper, removed all the shitty hose clamps, cleaned the couplers and piping, sprayed with hairspray so that when it dries it will be sticky as ****, and put all new T-Bolt clamps on.

I just test drove it and reached 21.1 psi as I let off without going all out. I just started turning it down until I reached what I wanted SP6 to be set at. Its a whole new car.....

Big shout out to you guys that have taken the time to help troubleshoot this issue. Its much appreciated.

Excellent you figured it out.
For sure I am going to replace all my silicone couplers and get good tbolt clamps now as well.

So did it just come apart or tear?

It seemed to just back off and wasnt all the way on the IC so the air would just blow out under a certain amount of pressure.

I was lucky to have such a great store/shop in town that carries the good T-bolt clamps, as well as anything you can possibly imagine for hoses/hydraulics/AN Fittings/etc.....

Thanks a bunch, Tom!

I did address the charge system first and I actually tightened that clamp once. It was barely on the IC though so it must have worked its way off the tighter I got.

Now I have cleaned and lubed WGs and sweet looking SS/AN vacuum hoses. Thats just a couple less things to worry about, maintenance wise, in the future.
