I've got a question. Just recently I started seeing only 11PSI with my 2.76" BF. I usually saw around 13 - 14 but usually right around 13. It's been upper 90's - low 100's here is this my problem? I've checked for all the usuall signs of belt slippage and there doesn't appear to be any. My Cobra has 31K on the clock and has been pullied since 25K with no problems. Someone with some expeirence please chime in. THANKS

Well I did a little research and found yes the answer is yes HIGH TEMPS = LESS BOOST. thanks for all your help. But now I'm worried that my charger is messed up or I've got lots of belt slip.

Yes because cold air is more dense. Therefore more boost.

That's why cars like cold (but not too cold) weather. Which is why people like to dyno on cold days.


See how it all works out?
