Boost leak?
Hey, first off I'm stage 2'd with a 2.9 pulley and shorty ram cai and 2.5" catback for the basics. For some reason, Ive lost about 2 psi according to my boost gauge recently. I used to be at 16psi and now Im down around 14. The weather has changed around here, when I saw 16 it was high 20's to mid 30's, and now the low is in the upper 30's. Would this weather change cause a drop in boost? Or do I possibly have a boost leak somewhere? I dont hear anything such as a whistling or any kind of a leaking sound from under the hood. Any ideas, I just noticed this today when I jumped on it. It still pulles hard as hell, just wondering. Thanks!

Don't sweat it, it's the weather.

I just went to a 2.9, and my boost jumped to 18psi. One day this past week we hit 70 and I dropped back to 15/16 depending on gear and rpm. I thought something was wrong but the next day we dropped back into the 40's and 50's, I'm right back up around 17.
