6lbs of boost
No error codes
No a/f gauge
36 degrees out
Exhaust sounds choppy, smells like exhaust
No fluids leaking
There is a metallic sound coming from under engine bay at idle which is also new, and also noticed that the interior lights are flickering when at idle now.
One of the first things I checked since I have had problems with belts and tensioners previously.Check your belt.
Maggie went on in April, maybe 15-20k miles since then. It was dyno tuned by the installer, I asked him to make the tune extra safe since I tend to drive it pretty hard.If the idle is choppy, that will make the interior lights flicker. The metallic sound is not a good sign. How many miles have you had the Maggie on? Is it the Magnacharger base tune or a CMR? Did you check the belt?

No doubt that he went lean for too longThere is a possibility you went lean in the colder temps. Was it warmer when he did the dyno tune; is this the first winter with the Maggie? Even if he made the tune "extra safe", it could still need more fuel in colder temps.
I would get a wideband on your Beast ASAP, but I think you went lean too long and hurt a Piston. Personally I want to know exactly where my AFR is at all times as when it gets colder out here as it will show that I am running leaner.Maggie went on in April, maybe 15-20k miles since then.

It's not running a BAP, I was assured by installer and magnuson that one is not necessary at 6lbs boost.Running a supercharger on a stock engine WITHOUT an a/f guage...you asking for problems man. Even if you tuner did do a super safe tune, how would you kno your running lean if say you BAP quits or malfunctions?? you wouldnt untill you wreck something.
Exactly , 6lbs Maggie runs no BAP , So colder weather = an easy full psi or more . I still thinking you went lean for toooooooo longIt's not running a BAP, I was assured by installer and magnuson that one is not necessary at 6lbs boost.
It was much warmer when tuned, this is the first winter the Maggie has seen.
Its not looking good the longer I think about the possibilities.
Check engine light came on when I was just out. I am out of town and don't have access to my trinity, so I will get the code pulled tomorrow and update the thread.
I am afraid I might need a new engine with some free flowing heads and a blower cam.... darn...
My credit card is melting at the thought of it.... already need a new tranny...
, I just looked up a 6psi Maggie log on 40 degrees temps and he made 7psi with CAM/Headers , so tells me that you are making more .

I read it. I heard it. I knew it. I had plans on doing it, have the pillar pod already, have links saved to buy an AFR gauge. I was planning on doing it the same time I was going to change the pulley to 8lbs and get it tuned again. If it made it that far, not sure the dyno session would have gone well...As others have said, you really need to invest in an AFR gauge. That's all I look at as soon as the boost comes on, especially during the colder winter months.
