Today I noticed a strange thing that I hope some of you could enlighten me on.
I was driving therough the city, and I applied partial throttle at about 35 MPH. Enough throttle to put the SC into boost mode at about 2.5psi. All of the sudden, the SC gauge jumped to about 5 psi and the motor started buckling. I let off the accelerator, and the gauge went into vacuum, as normal. It did it two more time over the course of about 5 miles. (It doesn't do it all the time, apparently.) I did hear a noise coming from the engine bay all three times it did this, but I really can't describe it..
The SC does not have a lot of play with the belt off (about 3/16th of an inch).
Could it be the bypass valve?
Next, does anyone have gutted cats? Does that help any? I have a shop here that will gut the cats on monday and I'm wondering how much that would help, if any.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
