remember with longtube you dont have much restriction on the exhaust side so you will loose some boost. if you cant find a leak then i think it may be time to upgrade to a bigger pulley.

i have a guess on were to look for the leak...might be the spacers between sc & surge tanks. Will let you know when i do. Thanks for your help mate

I have the same set up with 180mm pulley and I only get 12 psi in third gear. I do have long tube and 3" mid pipes if that matter.
