V3 Vortech with CXracing Intercooler

[Mike-E]

Anybody running a Vortech tuner kit with a CXracing intercooler? I have a V3 kit, CXracing intercooler, 3.8" pulley, and Tial BOV. Car is currently at tuner getting tuned. Problem is at 6K rpm were only hitting 3psi of boost at manifold. Can't find any boost leaks and believe the V3 is just not spinning fast enough. Anybody else have experience with this? Thanks in advance. Oh it's a 2009 GT with Hotrod cams.

That’s an A/A ic correct?

A 3.8” pulley would give 7# or so, with an a/a you’ll lose boost pressure for sure.

Y not pulley down?

That's what I'm thinking, just want other opinions.

I've heard CX intercoolers can drop a couple PSI. I usually suggest Treadstone for that reason. Like Dave said, pulley down and try again.
