MSP 03.5
k, just to start it of... my brother has a 99 civic si... dc headers and exhaust... and aem cai.... on my MSP... i have a aem cai... he bought the car with those upgrades so get off me... mine is in the works... new job... taking a bit but i start in two weeks so i will be able to afford the parts i want... anyways... i should at least be keeping up if not beating him right??? what i really want to know is has anyone have a problem where if you dump the car in to say 2nd or 3rd... and get on the gas... the car doesnt seem to go anywhere... and i dont hear the turbo spool or pull it may spool but it doesnt pull at all... not even at high rpm's is this due to any reason... air/fuel???? or just not running enough boost... i am running stock boost... and want to get a boost controller... but i know if i just get a boost controller im probably gonna mess something up so if there are any suggestions i should buy along with or before the boost controller???... i was told to get a fuel managment system... and mine is the 03.5 so it should have been flashed right??? i called the dealer ship and they said all 03.5's had been flashed... get back to me guys... im tired of gettin beat by hondas!!!!
 
you should be kicking the s*** out of that car, get a boost gauge.
if your boost shows to be around 7psi or so, then you have other issues.

i have a boost gauge and when its to the floor... the gauge reads close to 10psi
 
it's wrong then, because at 10psi you should pull at least a car on an Si.

yeah but the car shouldnt be at 10psi cause i havent up'd the boost at all... but other than that what could be the problem???

Yellow Check Engine Light(CEL) in the bottom left of the dash?
yeah but it doesnt come on at all, i have noticed something flash real quick and then flash back off before though a couple of times, not while i was getting on it though never looked
 
check all your vacuum connections. The stock lines suck and are known to leak. This DOES sound like a vacuum leak. There's no way you're hitting 10psi stock. Something is ****** up.
