Awesome, thanks for the link moddiction, i will def get one of them.

S2000Junky Thats exactly whats happening, im making good boost all the way till vtec, then i literally feel it die out and regular NA vtec kicks in, and the car feels like its stock again...

 

Yeah right after max boost its got to be blowing past a coupler/clamp or wast gate or something. You make boost and then it bleeds off, that's my best guess with the info.

 

Ive seen quite a few posts just like this one. Not alot of them have been answered. So I really doubt its a boost leak issue and easy way to tell would be turn the boost up another pound if it holds at whatever your current psi is plus 1 then thats not your issue. Why a boost leak would be hurting you is because youre losing so much boost it is throwing your turbo out of efficiency. I doubt thats happening but you never know. The other interesting thing would be to know where this shielding goes around the intake and where the wastegate exits. If youre sucking wastegate air into the inlet that will kill you.

The most common issue would be the tuner.
