K&n Air Filter

[steven22]

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my panel air filter to that of the like shaped k&n variety. I noticed that when i accelerated, at full boost the gauge was reading at 7 or 700mmHg compared to the usual 5.25 or 525mmHg on the old filter.

Can anyone tell me why my GTR has managed to increase its boost by around 3.5 Psi just from an air filter.

It shouldn't do, that's strange, unless you've accidentally bumped off one of the hoses that connects upto the intake pipe? check the solanoid still has all it's vacuum lines attached otherwise you could be really overboosting your turbos :S

would the solonoid look like this, if not, what is this.
