I was worried last weekend when I was only able to hit 12.4 at Cali Speedway, today I went to Irwindale I usually run aroun 7.7 (1/8 mile), first run: 8.2, second run 8.7, another 8.7 and a 8.8. The last run I watched my boost gauge and it never went past 2 psi.
F@$CK!

I thought I had forgotten on how to launch on slicks because I kept on bogging but I just did not have enough power to launch right.

I have not gotten any CEL's and the car drives otherwise fine, and pulls hard until it hits 2 psi then i just won't go any further. My A/F looks ok as well.

One thing that might or might not be related is that my Cruise Control no longer works...the Set light just blinks but it will not engage...

I'm hoping that maybe a vacuum line got ripped or got loose. I truly truly hope that it's not anything serious.

I'm going to call Brainstorm in the morning, I hope they can get me in on Saturday and fix this.

Did you get your clutch issues resolved?

I found the problem

The coupling of a pipe going into the intercooler on the passenger side came off exposing the pipe and creating a huge boost leak. This must have gotten loose when I got my Radiator installed and over the last few weeks gotten looser and looser finally completely disconnecting the pipe last night hence no more boost.

I'm going in for my oil change to Performance Nissan tomorrow and will have them reconnect the pipe since I am too tired to lift my car and crawl under it.
I hope nothing broke because of this.
