Boost falling off

Yup. Car runs fine as 12psi of boost. The helper spring was the key piece. Havent messed with it since.

Last week the top plastic radiator endcap cracked and was leaking so he installed a Godspeed aluminum rad with a GM shrouded electric fan. Really opened up the engine bay and the polished rad looks really good. It was in the 90s and muggy as Houston here and it cooled very nicely using a Flex-A-Lite thermoswitch to control the fan.

At the same time the kid put a Corksport turbo intake duct as a purely prophylactic measure. Nice piece.
