boost spikes....UP to 22psi
sluggish conditions
Screaming from somewhere (sounds like belt slip)
car has 4600 miles
just replaced the Crank sensor and started driving it home and heard this............
last two secs you'll see the spike and hear the SCREAMING Whistle

damn!!!! thats that ******* evil noise i heard today!!!!

Scared the hell out of me because that **** sounds like metal on metal from the cab.

ever since stage 2 i had the feeeling i was running pig ass rich. and after developing a hesitation during accel....and yesterday noticing a nice healthy 1psi over my supposed boost limit of 15.....i get a distinct feeling im gonna be another "clogged cat" victem.


btw....can the dealership adress the A/F ratio at all or are they doomed to replace cats forever if i dont go get a tune?

That's belt slippage.

After I installed my 3" and had gotten some anti seize on the pulley, that's the exact same sound I heard about 6200rpm.
