Paxton "lag" problem

[marctallman]

Hey guys,

So Ive had my paxton for a few months now and put 8k km on it with the 3.8 pulley. I was driving it pretty "spiritedly" and I heard a loud clunk come from what seemed to be the rear although I'm not sure. Didnt think anything of it but someone else mentioned it too. I drove it home and left it for a day.

I was driving to work today and noticed that it was driving weird. I have the Max Race BOV so its constantly got a whistle to it. When I let off the gas, the flutter from the BOV lasts longer and then lets out the air. Its a big delay. Sometimes It sounds like a metallic sound from the front left of the car. Boost still reads normal.

My clutch is going but I cant see it being that (could it?).

I checked the vacuum lines and everything is good, all of pipes are connected, couplers tight and belt is good.

Any ideas??

I have vitually the same kit, but with the Vortech V3 head unit. I would suggest calling Vortech to see if they can help diagnose...I am sure they know all common issues. PM me if you need a contact there.

A clunk from the rear is definitely not supercharger related.
