Not making boost with Magnuson any input???

[PIGSMOKR]

No I know u have to drive to make boost. I'm trying to figure out why it's not. I don't care about the gauge I just recorded it so everyone can the vaccum.

With the accurater unplugged and I rev it up u can hear very slightly the cog drive.

Take a look at this diagram and make sure everything is routed correctly.

If you haven't, plug off that T in the line going to the brake booster and plug your boost gauge line into the BOOST REFERENCE port on the back of the blower.

Ok figured some things out that were going on with a lot of help from all u guys. Found the port on back of the intake for boost gauge that was wide open, the bap was suppose to be hooked to it but it wasn't so I had no bap and a boost leak. Got the bap and gauge hooked to it and made a world of differance. Put the car on the dyno and she made no power still. Running on all motor. Come to find out we had the wrong push rods in it they were a little to short. Ordered new push rods and overdrive cog pulley. Overnighted the parts so we will see what happens later today.

The pushrod fix will not correct the boost problem. If it's not making boost now, it won't make boost with this fix. I really think you have a bypass actuator that needs to be replaced at this point. Good luck today.

I think its the install...not too high flow of motor (LOL). Nor the pushrods. Review review review.

Made 333 hp with 3.2 pulley. Added over drive cog drive and made 410. On the dyno it spiked to 5 lbs boost at wot and as the rpms climbed the boost went down. Ordered 2.8 and crank pulley to pretty much max out the maggie. LOOKS LIKE THE MAGGIE IS GONNA BE FOR SALE SOON IT'S JUST TO SMALL.

Have you checked your compression?

I see your in NC,how far are you from the queen city...If you let the same guys install a F1X you may only get 550hp....You have a issue,fix the issue the Maggie will do over 700rwhp pretty easy.

I wish you well. You have issues with your set up. The blower being too small isn't one of them. Absolutely, it's too small if you're looking for 700+ rwhp. It's not too small if you're spinning the snot out of it and only seeing 5psi/400 rwhp. I know you're frustrated all to hell and back. You need to have someone look at it that's familiar with the platform. There's something seriously wrong that really shouldn't be that hard to find.

Was looking to get 800rwhp. Didn't check the compression did even ask to be honest. Motor was built for big hp numbers. If there's someone local that's an expert I drive to u if u think something else is wrong. There were a couple small over looked issues but we added the over drive cog to it just to make 5 lbs which slowly fell to 0 as the rpms increased. Which tells me it needs more boost right?
