Lost Boost From Air Filter

[wheels_24]

Hi guys just a quicky. My car was tuned the other week all set up and running fine on 16psi, with this tune i had a K&N filter inside the engine bay, now the other night i thought i would extend the piping and put the pod outside down near the front spoiler. So i would get better air flow to the turbo, it seems to have work as i have not really lost any power but now it is now showing that i am only running about 12psi is this because i have moved the air filter. If so what should i do just turn the boost back up or should i take it to the guy that tuned the car get him to turn it up and check it i am running wolf3D and have all the bolt on bits thanks any help would be great it just seems a little weird to me to lose 4psi

i'd start with re fitting the old filter system.. if the boost returns to where it was it could be your new system is a restriction.

if so setup a cold air feed from the guard instead of sitting your filter out in the open.

Maybe your boost controller hose has come off slightly or something. Check all your hoses because I had a similar thing in that the power still seemed fine but it wasn't reaching the right boost so I upped the boost and blew the engine. Turns out the boost was right but the boost controller didn't know it.

The boost controller should be ok as i am going off the reading that my wolf3D hand controller is telling me. i might put the filter back under the bonnet and run the pipe to the pod inside the car see what happens then i guess

so do you have a boost gauge? or are you seeing this BOOST displayed on the wolf screen?

I know you said wolf is controlling the boost, but where are you seeing the reading?

The post above you says he is reading boost from the wolf 3d hand controller.

yer look at the solenoid and wastegate actuator hoses.

Every1 else has no probs with having the filter outside the car.

yer everything seems fine just seems weird that it started happening straight away after putting the pod out side i am reading the boost from the hand controller and a boost cage they both read the same
