E9X Boost issue after new intercooler?

[M57TheWorld]

Hi all,

For reference: MHD st2+ E30

Replaced my radiator this evening and decided to swap in the 5” VRSF intercooler I’ve had sitting on the shelf for a while

Before I installed the new intercooler I would hit 22.8psi sometimes 23

With the new intercooler in I’m only hitting about 15psi even with a reflash and I’m losing lots of top end boost.

Before I tear apart the car again I’m wondering if it could be a boost leak or something else based off my logs

Thanks

A set of graphs would have been easier to digest may I suggest..

On the grounds that all was well before then yes it’s a boost leak most probably..

I had one on my N54..couldn’t find it visually…but found it immediately with a cheap Amazon leak kit…

Logically it must be either the FMIC or one or more of the connections you disturbed.
