Help Please fallin boost
Help Please fallin boost I just in stalled my sts kit. It is a T-67 and I have added an obx fmic. My problem is that I am only seein like 4 lbs of boost on my gauge and i know thw gauge is some what right cause on the dyno you can see the car pullin like a monster and then at about 4500 rpms the boost drops to 3 lbs. I put a tee in series with the wastegate to watch my pressure back at the turbo and it is showing 9 lbs which is what I am wanting. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh I forgot to add that I have gone threw every clamp and coupling to make sure they are tight and look sealed

You have to boost reference the wastegate to the intake instead of the turbo after a fmic install. The drop in charge temperature and the added flow restriction of the intercooler combine to produce lower boost readings after it than before.
