'boost is addictive' should be a gajillionaire lol...My names Corey, I'm from the Midwest and just bought an 03 evo 8 on sat. And man I've always been a spirited driver but I can't keep my foot off of the gas pedal. I'm finding myself already content with the amount of power it has now lol... She's got most of the basic bolt on's now and I forsee e85 and/or a bigger turbo in the very near future! It's official....I love this car...And I'm a boost junkie!

Is there anyway anyone could help me out. I have all of those mods and I am only seeing 15-16lbs of boost. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I've never done a boost leak test until yesterday and I found 2 boost leaks in the intercooler piping where the clamps on the coupler was loose. I fixed them and the boost is still only around 15 psi. The car has the stock 8 bov and a forge waste gate. The guy before the guy who I bought it from was running a 9 Bov at around 23-4 psi. But had to switch to an 8 after having issues with it. I'm really confused. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
