Default Concern

I lost, somewhere, 3psi of boost. I was pushing 18psi's, On a Stage 2, now im sitting on 15[]. I checked all the Vac hoses and tighten all the clamps. and i still pushing 15psi's.

Need some feedback... Im stuck

how's the new wastegate holding up? that'd be my first thought. also, if the temp has dropped lately, the pcm will hold the boost down to compensate for the denser air.

The wastegate if holding up, great. I thaught the denser the P.A. the more sustainment it will hold. If that's the case, Brother then im good; and yes, Its getting real chilly with rain here in Germany.

Thnx

Reset your PCM and see what happens. If you jump back to 18, then it's the PCM not liking something, if you don't then it's a reaction to ambient like Barney said.

no, the battery thing.
but if it's cold and rainy (great, i'll see you in a couple weeks), then i pretty much guarantee it's the pcm backing off due to the increased air density, and the water will only exacerbate the issue- the good news is that you should be putting out the same amount of power and torque- that's what the computer is shooting for.

Yeah, the stock PCM on mine did the same thing and so does the Stage 1. I guess the Stage 2 does it as well. At least they're consistant!!!!
