ok so i hooked up my side mount i/c same as jerry2500 under the pass. door i know i prob need a good retune but the truck felt weaker alot less power. it goes into boost but not as easy as befor and when i get into boost it doesnt pull as hard. right now im running 6 psi but want to tune for 10-12 but what can be causin this or is it normal???????

 

You are most likely running lean, stay off the throttle. I know when I put my intercooler on I had to add a bunch more full to my tune.

 

You have to run a vac hose from your intake to the turbo. Your boost reference needs to be after the intercool and not before like it is from the factory. Mine did the same thing.. i was like WTF. Once i moved the vac line to the intake it worked perfect.

 

r u talkin about to get a reference for my boost gauge? or that will fix my loss of power prob?

 

I think its the reference fpr the wastegate that Jerry is refering to. The hose will be long going back to the turbo but it will help throttle response and spool up time. Make sure you use a decent quality hose, I'm using a air-compressor type hose and have never had issues ith it. A silicone hose would last longer and stay more flexable but its pricy. Just make sure you do not have any pinch points or kinks in the hose you do install, just tee off where your boost gauge gets its reading from, the intake manifold I hope.

 

I leaned up about .7 a point when I put on my i/c. If your boost ref point is from engine vacuum (intake), then your boost should basically auto compensate for the drop of going through the i/c. If you're off your compressor then you may need to crank up the boost to get back to where you were.

 

my ref right now is off the intake man. off the fpr vac hose. so u guys sayin i should t that off and run that a line back to my wastegate? i thought it went to the b/c? so wit a new good tune i should be set right?

 

i just need to install my injectors and retune

 

I T off at the engine and run a vac line back to the EBC/WG.
