I really don't believe its slipping either but what else would cause the boost curve to fall above 5k? No boost leaks and bov is working correctly. Blower belt is tight enough in my eyes but Im going to try to tighten it a hair more and see what happens, possibly replace the belt. Unfortunately the bolt that goes through the center of the tensioner pulley has become seized (maybe not seized just too tight) and is in such a spot where I cant get the box end of the wrench on it, today ill be pulling the headunit and brackets just to loosen that god dam bolt and tighten the belt.
Between the belt slip, the gasket between the procharger upper and lower mani is leaking, and the car bucking like a bastard in every gear except 5th at a steady throttle, I'm ready to set fire to it.
why is it bucking so bad ?
keep your cool with it is all i can say. I mean i just did a compression test on my built motor and found that it needs to be pulled and fixed. This will be the third time i have pulled it since owning the car lol. no biggie though actually contemplating putting stock cams back in it and going turbo again in a couple years lol. just part of owning a car like you have.
I wish I could tell ya, but its completely obnoxious
