Okay I don't know what to do. My mechanic almost has my install finished. I have a bone stock 2008 Jeep SRT8 with a Vortech V3 kit with 180 stat and 1 step colder plugs and the blower still has the stock 32 gear pully in it untouched.
Here is what's wrong. It's pulling a code he says which I believe is a lean code like p2096 or something and I know there is an exhaust leak because I used that shitty exhaust bung clamp thing and of course it won't work on our stock exhaust. That I can fix at an exhaust shop, so I'm not freaking out about that but the real issue is my mechanic just told me he is seeing as high as THIRTEEN LBS OF BOOST and 8lbs under very little throttle!!!!
WHAT??????????????
Obviously I'm concerned as it is WAY higher than it should be. Then I thought, how can it boost this high at all? Then I thought about how he ran the boost gauge....
It's an Autometer gauge "cobalt" digital and in the kit they never included a "T" fitting that would fit the brake booster line so he used the smaller vacuum line off of the drivers side intake manifold close to the evap stuff. Is that bad? All the vacuum lines are tied in there. Can someone please help??? I am so screwed and totally regretting this kit now, I've been without the Jeep for 3 1/2 weeks now and it looks to be A LOT more now and I'm running out of $$$$$$$$$$$$.
HELP HELP HELP PLEASE!
Can the exhaust leak cause any of this? Is it the vacuum source? What's wrong?????????
