The problem was a boost leak which I fixed, but when my car was down I returned it to stock, so when I fixed it, it still didn't feel right. That's because I no longer had the faster turbo spool calibration. After retuning and adding quick turbo spool, it felt normal again. I just couldn't...

Hondata states they used 91 in their tuning. Not sure if that applies to the high octane calibration.
It was at .56 before I added the tune. I am using the high octane tune but only with 91 octane since that's the highest in my area. Is 91 not considered high enough octane?
Maybe heat soak? That's why I got my aftermarket intercooler in the first place. Everyone shit on me for getting an aftermarket intercooler but I didn't really have a choice since I was getting heat soak every single time I left my car in the sun.
My boost seems to vary on different pulls...
I put my aftermarket intake back on and applied the +6 tune and I guess it feels normal again. I think I may have just forgotten what my car used to feel like. It's pulling hard again, but the intake seems a little less loud. I have a clamp at the MAP which is questionable so I'm going to stay...
When I first put the intercooler in it was way more powerful than it is now. I was hitting 21 psi at half throttle after the turbo fully spooled. It just isn't spooling enough to reach that anymore unless I give it twice as much gas.
If my car is normal then that would be good and I would deal...
After 4 months of diagnostics and a lot of money spent, I still cannot find what's wrong with my car. It seems like a boost leak, but there isn't one. It started after I swapped my intercooler and cracked my turbo from an initial boost leak.
One of my clamps had sheered and loosened slightly...
Bro you have to report him to better business bureau and sue him for compensation. This is unacceptable. People should be bombing the places reviews right now. What's the place called?
After comparing old and new datalogs I noticed that my AIRC sensor only reads 0% when it used to read normally. I couldn't find anything on this except for that Hondata says it's an air charge sensor. Can't figure out what a failed AIRC sensor entails or where it's located.
Well the entire turbo, including the waste gate, was fully replaced. It sounds like it could be stuck open but my car does build boost if I push it hard enough. Unless it could be stuck partially open. I'm not sure how that's even tested for. I think it was brand new and calibrated at the...
That sounds highly possible, I just wish the Honda techs were more knowledgeable.
I'm also considering the possibility of my fuel injectors being clogged since I used octane booster in the same week that this problem started. They initially told me that wouldn't be the cause but I think I'm...
Hey glad you solved your issue. Did you say you put octane booster in your car? Do you think the octane booster clogged the injectors?
I put octane booster in my car a couple months ago and I've been having tons of issues since. My car won't build boost and Honda already tested for a boost...
Man, I hope it's that easy. I have no idea how it all works. Honda techs replaced my entire turbo including the waste gate. But, apparently there's another boost sensor separate from the MAP which could fail. The techs said that the waste gate is controlled via throttle and not by engine demand...
