Hey boys and girls, I have an intermittent boost problem. Every once in a while I seem to have trouble building boost and it seems to do it mostly when it's cold outside. In today's episode I was on my way home from work. I was coming out of a construction zone and when I stepped on the go pedal it felt a little off. I looked in my rear view mirror and I could barely see the headlights of the guy behind me... I almost felt bad... Of course it didn't help that I was playing with a VW earlier and was on 5x5 Anyway, I realized what was happening since it has happened before. It seems to take a while for the boost to build. I turned the juice down and even on 3x5 it smoked pretty bad. I got home, took a shower got back in the truck to go out to dinner and it was back to normal?? Theres obviously enough fuel... lol but I'm confused as to what might cause this. Since it's intermittent I'm guessing it's not a plugged filter or a boost leak. I was thinking the turbo itself, map or IAT sensor. Would any of these make sense? There's no shaft play on the turbo but it won't keep spinning if you twirl it (not sure if that's normal or not). For the record I began having these problems before the Juice. I had it with the smarty and with the EZ.



Any Ideas?

Thanks,
