Re: Cant get over 9psi of boost

I would just do a leak-down test. go to home depot and make yourself one, they are easy. Like kevin said, it would have to be a huge leak, but maybe a leak and something else is contributing to your 9psi. Just rule out any leaks by a leak down, then look into the more difficult things.

Re: Cant get over 9psi of boost

Sorry i didn't see this post earlier. Yeah i have the profec e-01. It's on my talon and i haven't used it in a while. Are you sure the "valve unit" is hooked up for an internal wastegate? Also make sure the hole for the external wastegate is closed off. It could be hooked up wrong or a problem with the car not hldin boost for one reason but that was already discussed. You can go to greddy.com for the same manual in pdf it's a little easier to read.
