Default Vortech v3

Hi guys, i upgrade my vortech v2 to v3, but i dont know what happened cos the new SC canīt boost more than 6 psi, does any one knows why?

with the v2 the boost was 8-9 psi

i already check the intercooler piping, and itīs ok, there is no leaks.

my V2 and my V3 both boosted the exact same.

Since you dont have any leaks or belt slip and are using the same pulley sizes, I would bet your motor is blown. Probably want to sell the car.

What did you do to fix the leak? I have a leak as well where the lower plenum mates with the intake manifold. Did you just replace the gasket?
