Boost Droppage

[03MSP]

Yes...I said droppage

Anyway, I was driving around A LOT tonight and towards the end of the night I was looking at my boost gauge and it would slowly creep to 5 psi and stop. I normally boost just a hair over 6 psi. Do you think something is wrong, or could my turbo have gotten so hot that it was acting weird?

Thanks,
Brandon

sounds like your intercooler has heatsoaked and your pipes were expanding a lot. i wouldn't worry about it. it shoudl run at 6psi tomorrow.

I noticed on these really cold ass nights in Michigan that I usually spike at just under 8 PSI!!!!!!! And I have not been flashed yet and have not touched the boost. Just wondering if anybody else is spiking at almost 8 PSI stock?????????

It's entirely possible. No worries. Enjoy the extra boost from mother nature.

03MSP- No problem, that's why we're all here.
