Default 8 lbs never felt sooo good.....

after alot of messing around and looking over and over and over at stupid ****, i found my boosting problem, an intercooler pipe that had blown off that took me forever to find, up front right off the intercooler it self, when it blew off it must of fell back in place and by eye u could not see it, but if i pulled on it it came apart very easily. i got that back into place and started to drive it to my moms again...

first run, i got to 4 psi, backing off, drove down my moms drive way, 4 lbs again, home another 4 lbs.... getting home idol fuel pressure droped alittle to 48psi, so i adjusted it back to 50. and decided to get on it when i went to my parents again.... pulling out of the driveway, straitened the car out and got on it, hitting 8 psi, shifting into second, tires started to spin, kinda taking me by suprise... (that big turbo may have lag but damn!!) layin about a 25 - 30 foot black marks in the road i got to my moms for her birthday.... running it home afterwards and with no bumper or trunk lid i knew it was running to par once again... just a matter of waiting for my body panels to get painted and me to put insurence on it, and i will be back on the road again!!!! i will try to get a video of it today, or tomorrow, but i need someone to hold the camera.... LOL

What turbo are you running? Do you have a built motor?
