Thanks for all the help, Evan!

I'm pretty positive that the leak is from one of the vacuum hoses, so I'm going to take a gander at that tonight. I'll keep you posted on how it goes! It'll be nice to boost more than 4psi haha

The JB4 is a powerful weapon for the performance enthusiast, in addition to the bump in power the JB4 offers code reading and datalogging capabilities, among other things.

We installed the usb cable, updated his JB4 firmware, read some codes, and did a couple logs. Since I was there with my various laptops and cables, I plugged in with WinKFP and flashed the SAT transmission software.

Logs showed boost way under an the 30FF code confirmed a boost leak. We ran out of time/daylight to further diagnose the issue but at least we have some data to work off of.
