So I got 2 of my t-bolt clamps on the pipes today, back at 10psi on the 2 step and making 16psi constantly. I’ll take a 4psi loss to humidity. Car will be out Wednesday on full wick. ---

it will still over work the turbo. the 20 psi is your goal.it is all most like back pressure. or its the whole system, from the turbo to the intake valve. the car you could break boost it in 2 gear at 2700 rpm and have 20 psi. ---

I know, I’ve done it quite a bit :lol I was losing 2lbs when it started getting hot the first time, I would believe 4. Its not a big turbo, not too hard to heatsoak. Humidity is water in the air, so the turbo will hate trying to compress all the water in the air and make less power. I knew it was a boost leak before because the car was idling a little different/randomly, but now that everything other than top end boost is back in order, its def humidity. Pete, if the car has no leaks tomorrow, wick is going up so that I hit 21psi by the end of the night. Or I may get this nice EBC I’ve been looking at… ---

IDK im not a turbo guru but I never saw any sort of loss in boost from a hot humid day to a cool night other then the fact that my cheap intercooler hated life on a humid day ---

I don’t understand how you have such a hard time with boost leaks. Also I think your thinking alittle too hard about this water in air thing. it doesn’t have to be this complicated. ---

The car would previously make 20lbs in 1st, since water is expelled from the air as its compressed, if the car has more time to compress the air, I should hit 20psi, right? car is spiking 19 in 3rd (long gear, lots of time to make boost). On top of that I actually tested it, and am 100% sure its not a boost leak at this point.
