Been chasing a gremlin the last couple weeks where rpm would fade on topend. Today, noticed rpm was low across the board. Looked at boost gauge and sled would only boost 15lbs, 10 miles later 11lbs and finished the day at a consistent 10lbs of boost. Tore into it when I got home and found a split charge tube.
So who makes the best charge tubes and who has the best price??
