need more boost

[TMCNORWAY]

Its been a while,

Just finished the installation of my paxton and all the other goodies from Justin.

Will post pics tomorrow or friday.

Sounds and feels great, but only averaging 1-2 Psi on the AEM boost gauge!!!!!!!!

Help....

welcome back....I aint that familiar with the Paxton as to why your boost is so low...someone will help though..

first thing is to verify the gauge is working...Hook a compressor to it and blow 10 psi in it..verify the gauge matches.

Next check for leaks on the connections.

lastly check to see if you are getting belt slippage

One of those is probably going to be the problem

How did you check for leaks? I would hook up a cap on the inlet port of the blower, with a compressor nipple on it, then send 10psi through it...listen for leaks (besides obvious ones like it getting past the throttle body.

As for belt slipping..thats a tough one, really the only way that I know of 100% is I log it with software and view the tables and see the slippage.

Lastly, check the bypass valve and make sure its not stuck open too... and can stay closed when when under boost.
