had my car remaped about month ago once done the car boost at 18psi. since having the car done i have not really gone far in it but yesterday done a 200 mile round trip now the car seems to only boost to 14psi and settles at 12psi.
the weekend i fitted a CAI could this be the prob???
i have agu 1999
no fault codes
checked all pipes cant see any leaks if this helps

I doubt fitting a CAI would do anything unless you havent attached it properly :tongue:
In all honesty, just check and re check something has obviously changed somewhere - remember boost leaks leak oil :wink:
-
should be boosting to 18-20 holding at 14-16 so more than likely got a leak somewhere

This, a leak is most likely :wink:

had a run out this afternoon for a play lol
should you get the boost spike in every gear???
im getting 12 to 14 psi in 1st / 2nd & 3rd around 4000rpm and in 4th if i put my foot down im hitting 18psi and then it drops and holds at 16psi is this about rite?? or should it be 18psi every gear

Sounds about right to me.

no you won't get 18psi in every gear
