For now...pipes are coming out of production soon to make this an non-issue..

All I have is the boost guage. I drove it home from work tonight. Temp around the same. 55ish. I hauled *** from second through 5th shifitng at about 6k. Car ran just fine. It was right about 5lbs of boost. Im going to call turbonetics tomorrow and see what they recommend. Only thing I dont get is how miaplaya can throw on an exhaust as well as a spacer and not have any problems. Did you have it reflashed after mods? And before you guys bash me Im working on getting an A/f guage. Any recommendations? Not too expensive.

Why only 5lbs of boost? Sounds like you have a leak...

If you are going into limp mode at only 5 PSI of boost you definitely have a boost leak somewhere. Do you have a spacer or plenum on there? If so what kind?

Check the location of the vacum line to the BOV... Make sure it is in the top port... Shop I used put it in the bottom port and I was at 5 psi consistantly. Then swapped it and bam 8 psi.

I did the install on Solidsnakes 04---Solid running car, Dynoed @ 377 w/ stock exhaust. Im going to chk for leaks, pull check and clean MAF, Also do a plug change---Prob a step colder Copper gapped at low 30s. Exhaust issue is interesting. More responses and recomandations are welcome.

Don't gap below .035... That should be MORE then sufficient...

Did you check MIAPLAYA BOV pic/link? Top port is the one closest to the drivers side fender, bottom BOV port is closer to the motor.
