Thread: Low boost problem

Started 4 months, 1 week ago by BAD IMP
> I have a 1996 Impala SS and I put a used (owner said it had 10k miles) BD-11A (6psi) kit on the car. I took it to a tuner today and he put it on the Dyno and said it was only putting out 2 psi.

> Oh the bypass valve to test it, just take the bypass valve off and plug up the hole. Make sure the plug you use does not get sucked into the engine. Since the bypass is gone it should be able to build up full boost. If you still see 2psi then you know the by pass is not the issue and you can re-install the bypass valve. A good place to rebuild the powerdyne is ...
