FMIC and boost questions
I have a vortech s-trim, 32x12x3" FMIC, AFM power pipe, mini race BPV and a 3.33" pulley and im only making 6psi of boost. Does that seem right? It seems a bit low, and I know the intercooler is large and im losing boost having to pressurize it but still 6psi seems low. I would lower the pulley size but done want to spin the head unit of my blower too fast. What should I do?

I have 2.5" piping and I havent checked for leaks yet. I will do that as soon as I can. Although when my tuner tuned it he said he didnt notice anything leaking or weird with it. So it does seem low?

I came across the same problem with mine. I installed my FMIC and had a 3.33 pulley and got a 7lb peak. I dropped to a 2.95 and now see about 10.5. I am going to go through everything again to see if I too have a leak somewhere because it just doesnt seem right.

yeah, I'm thinking maybe I have a leak. And without the IC and justt he vortech and a 3.60" pulley I made 8.5psi. I figured I'd lose some with the FMIC but not that much, considering I have a smaller pulley AND AFM boost pipe. I will go through everything and hopefully find the culprit. OT, but wheres a good place to hook up my boost gauge?
