Recently replaced my BOV hose, got my a/f, Boost gauge installed and I was running around 11.4-11.7 A/F to redline tapering from 20-16 at redline. I installed my CMD with 0 map just to test it before I get it dyno tuned, but I would still be running the same A/F and boost with it installed, so it had no effect after install. Also I was experiencing really harsh engine breaking, the engine was more audible than usual. after replacing BOV hose
Today, when checking my engine bay I discovered my BOV hose which goes to the OEM boost solenoid to my HKS was pinched by a tbolt clamp and another hose. After squeezing it through to get it out, it had some thread showing so i electric taped it and re-routed it, so its not pinched anymore.
I let the car warm up and took it for a drive, now it sounds like I dont have the harsh engine breaking anymore, when downshifting from 5th to 3rd, but...
Now when I go WOT... in 2nd gear it looked like I was hitting around 12.1 -12.2, 3rd gear was around the same, temp was around 71F. this afternoon I told my girl to watch it for me when i did a run so, 3rd gear was around 12.1, and going to around fourth gear it was hitting 11.8. temp was around 80F.
Also my boost gauge when at idle hits -11 sometimes, before it was always be just at -10 before i fixed the pinch.
Sorry for the long story but could that pinch from my BOV affected all this? because before I was always hitting around 11.4-11.5 at WOT and never lost any boost before I fixed the pinch.. Any info is appreciated.
