speed3 only making 10lbs of boost

Postby Bryan08MS3 » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:14

just like the title says I'm only making 10 lbs of boost. I read online that it should be around 15 stock. I know my boost gauge is fine because it works fine on my turbo Civic and I checked the line and its not crimped. I'm new to this whole Mazda thing and its just got me baffled. Any ideas?

TIA,
Bryan

COMPLETELY normal up here... sadly. You might hit spikes of a little more, but it will taper off to 10ish. Drive to sea level and then you will be pissed at how much quicker the car is lol.
