not that anyone is ever here, but I have a boost question.
Boost would only go to about 5 pounds in every gear. I replaced some clamps because I was obviously having a boost leak. I get to about 9.5 pounds now in 3rd+ gear but in 1st and 2nd it feels like something is slipping. I'll get it to 5 lbs, but the motor will rev and lose boost and doesn't feel like its pulling the car. It was wet out at the time so I thought the tires were just slipping, but after a dry run the results are the same.
Last time I was under the car, I noticed the axle boots were torn and grease was all over the subframe. Could this be a diff/axle problem? Is my clutch finally going out? Could it be some freak of nature boost leak? Should the motor still boost even if it's not under load?
In normal conditions it drives fine with good clutch engagement. i dont get it.
