no boost?
last night i finaly got my car back after putting the sf turbo kit on it. the shop had the car befor it rained and said it was nice for an auto. so i pick it up but its now raning and i cant tell if its spooling up. i feal no extra power around 55ish it climbs a bit faster to 65. the bov goes off at every shift but no extra power. it sounds like its spooling up but could that just be my tires spinning?
so far i have tryed every thing
tryed at a stop, a roll, after 40. i also just got pissed and reved the car up to 4k and let off no spool up and no bov when its in park and revving.

Rep Power: 0 How much boost are you running?
Since you just got the car back they probably set the boost low to let you get use to driving the car again. When you get comfortable you can bring it in and up the PSI and let the shop tune for it. Don't rush it now, your almost were you want to be. Take it easy.
And wait til it stops raining!

sounds to me like you need a nice ol boost gauge to monitor your stuff man. Grab urself a cheap one at autozone or something. Or if you got the money, Blitz has some nice line-ups.

Rep Power: 318 yeah, I'd also prefer a t28 on my auto, but i'm happy with the T3.
You won't get boost with an auto by revving in park or neutral-- the engine needs to be under more load. I have my boost set at 4psi and i hear [and feel] it kick in around 3000rpms/2500 in the higher gears.
the rattling you hear from the engine could be the BOV hitting the hood.. I am having the same problem. but before I fix that, i need to remedy the noisy fuel pump.

Rep Power: 0 the problem is that i go to school so my car just sits in the parkinglot most of the time. i am going home next weekend so i will try and get most of the e-01 set up.
if the bov is hitting the hood and making that noise cant you just put a peice of rubber or something there and dremmle out the beam thing on the hood? i think thats what im going to do if it is that but this defenetly sounds like its coming from the pipes directly connected to the intercooler from inside the car

if not that it's the piping where it bends to a "U" hitting on the chassis... get some of those heater hose and wrap it with duct tape to hold it in place that should take car of that noise
