Boost loss after WW installed
Has anyone else installed the wicked wheel and noticed a loss in boost? Highest I'm seing in boost now is 20psi on average. I peaked 22psi at WOT. With the factory wheel I was hitting 28-30psi. I'd like to make a boost leak detector and see if I find anything. How much air pressure can you charge the system with? I don't see why you cant go 30 psi since thats what the turbo can push. I think on of the clamps at the bottom of the Y pipe on the driver side has been loose since I've owned the truck.
The power seems more smooth...no surge. It whistles loud for a couple of seconds, then it quitens up a bit at the same boost level. Now I'm wondering if that loose clamp was what I was actually hearing instead of a turbo surge. I'd hate to put the factory wheel back in just to find out. Thanks
