I recently switched over to an E30 tune (which was on the AccessPort when I bought it used). After running a full tank’s worth of E30, I was quite underwhelmed, especially reading threads on how great it was. Then I noticed my max boost was just over 22 which seemed low based on other ppls posts - thought folks were making >24 lbs.
Okay, maybe it was the tune - went and bought a new tune from Stratified specifically for my car (V3 IC, colder plugs, etc). Only drove it about 30 miles or so on the new tune but only saw a max of 23 lbs boost.
Before datalogging and going back to tuner, I rechecked all my IC hoses and figured I’d inspect and re-lube my VTA DV (F that 3rd bolt, btw), which seemed like it definitely needed it despite only being on there ~8k miles.
Upon inspection, I noticed the o ring on the plunger looked malformed. Could this be a potential cause of what I believe to be a couple lbs of boost short of what it should be making?
