Good catch I meant 5862... I read his post and as I was typing I must have regurgitated the wrong number. LOL

Sounds like a boost leak, boost controller, or a tune.

I make 338 whp at 15 psi and over 400 at 22 psi. With my boost leak I was only seeing 10psi and the car felt horrible. Mine was in my sheetmetal intake. Got it welded up by a race car builder with beefier welds. Good to go.

Yeah I know my idle is jacked and he won't change it. He thinks its my o2 sensor which I ain't. I don't know how I could have a boost leak. I have every pipe in the couple least 2 inches and the t bolt clamps as tight as the go.

So, I have a few questions:

I picked up myself a rebuilt Saab 9-3 Turbo lastnight, With a manifold. Now, I need to know what else I need, I have a buddy of mine building my charge pipes, hot and cold, And I picked up myself a new Intercooler as well, I also have all of the oil lines and such.

My car is currently Supercharged, Do I need to retune my car once I swap everything over? My buddies tell me I don't have to (One has a turbo Cavalier pushing 400HP that he built) and the other is a GM mechanic.

Just want to shed some insight!

psssht no, you dont need a tune. Once you get everything installed you just need to reset the computer by opening up on the highway to WOT. You car computer will then reset to the new calibration.

I have read through this document before. I haven't pulled the pan off yet so the picture was unclear. Above the plug sounds good thanks

Just make sure the welder does a good job, it was hard to find a welder who wanted to weld cast aluminum

It's a pita for sure. Dual and single passes suck. Best bet is laying down a bead on max cleaning where you want the weld to go, grind the surface off, then Tri to do it normally.
