dyno question

since i installed the ported blower i am still able to get my max boost that i should be getting. going to dyno next week to get tuned, will they be able to figure out what is wrong and be able to fix the problem. i dont want to pull the blower off and check to see if something is wrong with it. i think its the actuator that is wrong. will they know to check that or should i tell them. thanks

Who ported the blower?

I reinstalled my actuator by using the circular scratches that the bolt heads made on it from the factory installed position. There are many threads on here how to adjust it. It's easy. Probably just getting a wrench in there is the hard part. Are all your vacuum lines hooked up?

How much boost are you seeing?

How much boost where you seeing before the port?

Are you using the same pulley combo with the ported blower?

With the truck running if you watch the bypass actuator and you play with the thottle can you see the actuator move?

yes same pully setup with blower. the actuator is moving. i see around 10 to 11 and then it slowly goes up to about 13-14. got off the phone with steigermier and he is saying that it might be the heat and humidit that is killing the boost. i ran at the track the other day and lost 1/2 second in the quarter and 3 mph slower. and it was about 90 to 95 degrees and high humidity. think heat and humidity is hurting me now, and wait till cooler weather?
