Losing Boost After Shift N55 JB3

Swerd430 · 07-27-2011, 11:14 PM

Just installed my JB3 today. Feels great. But, sometimes when I shift during hard acceleration it feels like I lose boost. For example, from a standstill the boost feels great thru first and then I shift into second and it feels like my car has gone back to stock. Same thing happens going into third and forth. CEL hasn't come on but it just doesn't feel right. Any ideas? Thank you.

I know the feeling you are talking about.. With the stage 2 it is gone just hold out a little longer. You will be happy you did

its normal? i feel like it shouldn't be.

Im not saying its normal but my car did it sometimes so I know the feeling you are experiencing. Usually it was from 3-4 shift and it would feel like it fell off boost after that shift. (slight lag and lower boost pressure) Feel free to Log and post it up.

Yeah I might log this weekend. Just been busy and need to open everything up again to connect USB. Haven't put it thru to the glove box. Could also be that my wife put 87 in on the last fill-up.

well i dont think our cars have a linear powerband... like the M3. so power band would be 2.5 to 6k.... it kind of dies above that. wait for stage 2!

Starts to die around 5 ish. The stage 2 feels extremely linear now.
