Help

 

well if ur getting 5 pounds of boost in 1st grear thats great i dont think our cars boost more than 7 psi in 1st and about the warranty part u know gm will fight with u not to warranty it hope they will and best of luck to ya

 

i thought it was 36k bumper to bumper and 100k on power train

 

i been getting before when i floor it 11psi i dont think its normal for it to be 5psi

 

A.bad boost gauge
B.Boost solonid might be bad
C.Leak Somewhere?

 

Yeah your right but whats happening to my car should fall under the powertrain right?

I think it may be the leak but I check under the hood and I don’t hear any air leak the problem is just in first gear.and how can my bust solonid go bad?

 

take some break cleaner and spray it along some lines...wont do any damage to motor,will just bubble if there's a leak

 

you know, i had the same damn problem when i got my car, and it had less than 3k miles on it, i took it in, and they told me it was "normal" for it to peak at 3-5 psi in first, however i thought i saw it at 10 psi.

 

i know i am not seing things but i always checked my psi when i would drive my car and every time it would boost more than 5psi, and i can feel the decrease and power when it starts diying down at 5psi, i don't think this is normal because it is very obvious that i feel less power in first gear then when i first got it. Does your car now still boost 3-5 psi?

 

yeah, still boosting 3-5 psi. i have taken my car in like 4 times already, and the every time i complain of the pull being weak, but they still insist that its nothing.

but then again, they can't seem to explain why my window motors keep blowing on me.

 

I rarely see my boost even cross over into the boost range in first gear but the tires break free with just a little throttle input. I don't think the boost was really meant to set in until second gear anyway.

 

i wish my car would only boost 5psi in first

 

cluch?... you may need a new one

 

I have a new clutch stage 3 Clutch Masters, every other gear I’m boosting 11psi. It’s that first gear that’s getting me.

 

My car would only see 5 psi on my boost gauge as wll in first gear, But then again my first gear ends a hell of alot faster than yours... are you spinning the tires thru first? that would make up for it. As for limiting boost in first gear, no, the cars ecm gives you 100% boost off the line.
IMO its seems like its normal. Your holding boost thru the rest of the gears.
Dude i live in riverside, hit me up pm me, and ill give you my number, i have hptuners we can log this thing, lol

So it can just be my mined playing tricks on me.

 

Maybe your boost solenoid came loose, adjust it correctly. Push it all the way down and tighten it that will probably fix the problem.

 

where is the boost solenoid located

 

isnt 1st more gears less boost?
