Help!!! SR20 in distress lol

[SidewaysFreak]

I have an issue with my car. With both setups it has done this. 1st setup, stock t25, megan manifold, fmic. 2nd setup, 50/62 38mm wastegate an fmic. I went to pass a car one day in 3rd gear around 3300 rpms around 1/2 3/4 throttle an immediately felt like it hit a wall an wouldnt ppush pass 5k under boost or blow off, also noticed an idling issue. Under no boost it will freely rev to the limiter, and blow off. It was set on 13lbs on the first setup, and 2nd setup Is on a 14lbs spring. I have checked plugs, plug gap. I'm stumped. Someone please help before I burn this motha to tha ground!!!!

mad boost leak, if it revs freely under no load. then your havign something stretch/leak under pressure. do boost leak test to 13psi and hold. then report back

I do not have a tester. I'm doing it by eye

interesting, id like to learn how to boost leak test your car by eye. could prove to be very useful

[SidewaysFreak]

Boost leak test "by eye" indicated no problems. Turned out being the MAF. Sorry for the long wait on results

there is a thread somewhere on the forums on how to make a boost leak tester with supplies from your local home depot or lowes and an air compressor.
