Boost

[pulsar passion]

guys, i have a question for something that is bothering me that maybe or mabye not a problem. Because an R is AWD do you feel the boost as much as a RWD? My brother has an S14 i have an R both run 14psi but his feels like his is pulling alot more and picks up alot more. Does my R have a problem or not? cheers

Need more information than that mate, such as what mods do you both have?

i have fmic, boost t boost controller, blow off valve, 3 inch exhaust from cat back and that's it

Should pull the same really. Have you done a fault code check? Make sure yours is running ok?

 

[gunmetalgtir]

What about mods on his car?

yeah pretty much the same mods, his has fmic apexi avcr, blow off valve, that's really it, i've done a fault code check and it came up 5 long 5 short, so that's ok nothing major wrong but i'm guessing i might hav a boost leak, is it possible for my guage to read 14psi but due to a leak somewhere in the chain that it's less than that by the time it gets to the intake?

or is the gauage reading wat i'm getting at the intake?

you have more transmission loss so have less power at the wheels, and aint the s14 lighter?
