weird lsj problem? Any help welcomed!
well i got a 06 ss sc. all stock. but got some things going on with it. 2 weeks ago the car ran fine. and was great. then parked till today. Today i went to drive it around a little. Well im only pushing 4 lbs of boost acording to the gauge. And im barly cherping the tires in 1st gear! its slow, really slow! But the motor is running like a charm, no smoke, no werid motor sweeks or noices. Like i said last 2 weeks it was running great!, 10-12 lbs of boost, ran great. I have noticed one thing though. when i rev it up, and when i hang around the rev limiter (stock at 6,500 rpms) for about 1/2 a sec to 1 1/2, then it'll die? then starts up just fine right after (all revs are done once the car is warmed up, no civic owner here LOL ) ? i did have a check engine light, but i cleared it with taking the battery cable off, cause i cleaned my maf senor today. So what could be the problem? Im dumbfounded. The car runs fine, drives fine, mine doesnt even jump in the rpms like most lsj's cause i cleaned the TB. , but is boosting really low, and is super slow. I hope its a simple fix. cause this weekend i wanna put my header and downpipe on . lol but any help would be great!

i had it for a long time know, and my uncle went to check it out and it read the maf sensor. so its finally sunny in washington, so i decided to clean it, and unhook the battery, then hooked everything back up. and went for a drive and it did the same thing.
i wouldn't beat on her until its solved tho, seems like the engine is pulling timing or something

bottom of the supercharger, its like a throttle body that closes as the actually throttle body opens. and you know what thats actually a good idea, insylem i hadn't thought that far. because really boost can be dictacted on whether that is opened or closed. when its open your in vacuum, closed ur in boost (air only moving through s/c rotors instead of through bypass)

Take it off an check the movement for it, it may not be working correctly. If you need to get a replacement call ZZP they can get you a new one. Call, and leave them a meassage and leave your number they will call you back. Def sounds like the actuator isn't working properly..

Haz l33t wheelz.
Have you looked at all of your vacuum lines? I would check those before replacing the bypass. It's possible you have a leak. That or a s,all rodent creeped into your intake and is reducing your airflow pre-maf
