boost question
 

i have a 100plate, bhaf, 4in mbrp turbo back, star cranked and a boost elbow... when i get on it i am only getting 18lbs of boost. i check for leaks cant find any. what else would cause this?

check the air line to the afc and make sure that its moving

Well.. with my 94 I was only hitting.. around 30 psi when I got on it.. with a 0 plate, boost elbow, injectors from a 97 truck and 181 DV's.. The wh1c won't give _that_ much boost will it? I'm not an expert though. :w2:

most I ever saw out of mine was 36psi.

when i lock the tc and floor it the boost gauge shoots up to 16-18psi and stops there like the wastegate is opening.

Your waste gate could be bad mabe wire it shut and see what that does. Just a thought.

Check and recheck all connections. It's been awhile since I've drove my truck but it think I was making like 34ish. That's with the h1c. My hx I was pushing 48lbs.

did you check the air line to the afc?

yea. all connections were good. i blocked the line that goes to the afc now she does 26 psi. wg must be bad thanks guys:c:

Could be waste gate, but maybe the diaphram inside the afc has a hole in it, might want to check that as well just to be sure. Most likely waste gate though, if you have a boost elbow you can just eliminate the wastegate for the most part.
