So I get my car back from the body shop and now I get 3psi.
I took off the valve and plugged the hole and vac line. Still low boost. I hear a it venting but all the conections are good.

Any ideas????

 

Did you check your mileage before and after you took it to the body shop Someone may halt took it for a joy ride.

 

what holes did you plug if you plugged the bypass valve that was dumb.. but to answer you ? if you still have your bypass valve on it might be leaking under boost, belt might be slipping, cog belts are loose ,bearings are fawked, one of your rubber hoses might have a hole, clamp might not be tight enough, there are a bunch of things, what did they have to do at the body shop?

 

I am going to tighten the belt. They said they replaced it.

 

if the belt squells for along time at a cold start then your belt is the problem.
mine only made noise for about 2 seconds then all you heard was the blower.
the belt has to be pretty tight

 

tighten the belt 50% more and still low boost>>>>

Should I tighten it all the way till it cant go anymore?

 

Check your plenum for leaks around the gasket.. Check the Procharger oil for shredded metal in case of impeller failure..

Most likely your plenum leak or vaccum hose needing replacement..

 

still cant find anything. I am going to take it back to the shop and let them deal with it...

And a side note someone just backed in to the car today

cant ****ing win these days

 

Bro u wont be able to see it leak.. Youd have to spray intake cleaner while the car is running and where it bubbles or sucks in the spray/kills the idle thats where ur leak is....

 

I used brake clean and got nothing....
it is what it is.

Here are some pics of the new front end and paint.

 

If you over-tighten the belt it will eat itself up and destroy the belt. It has to be tightened a/p instructions. I think you just need to check for any boost leaks in the piping.
