Re: loseing boost need help

Wait many thoughts come to mind...first off, you are running 17lbs of boost...?
1.Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge?
2. What injectors and fuel pump do you have?
3. How long were you running it without the AFC...when you mod...do it safely, get everything you need before turning up the boost or you are going to destroy your pistons.

Next thought...when you say you checked every coupling and hose...how did you check...did you do use a intake pressure tester...or did you simply tighten all the hose clamps...because tightening the hose clamps wont help you find a boost leak...

Lastly, what color is the smoke and does it only happen when you start your car...this can be normal due to the cold temperatures we are starting to get(at least up hear in NY), so don't jump to conclusions...how many miles you got on your car?
