Default so im boosting at 2+ bar

so now that iv gotten more use to my 944 turbo , i have this problem im driving it and it doesn't feel fast anymore(maybe its just me). this is what i have done to it
1)no muffler just straight pipe back from the cat
2)when i got the car the oxygen sensor was bad so i replaced that (just passed emmissons-finally)
3)put in a cone airfiler in place of the stock airbox
4)and i believe the car has the autothority chips

i have taken her to the drag strip and put down 14.3@102 mph times

THIS IS MY PROBLEM i drive the car through the gears reaching full boost 2+ bar everytime ,but the car feels slower ,it almost make me feel like have a boost leak somewhere ,but i checked every hose,intercooler,etc and everything is air-tight. the car also looses that whistle at full boost . some body help me figure this out, im stuck plus it almost sounds like i have a exhaust leek at full acceleration (which i dont) not a raspy sound just sounds like a a 2005 stock impala at full acceleration.

SOME BODY ?

Youre not boosting at 2+ bars. The middle of the gauge and right is boost. Youre doing 14-15PSI of boost, assuming you DO have Autothority chips.

Well if you really are boosting 2 Bar, I'd say the reason it feels slow because various peices of your engine were blown all over the street.

The "1" on the stock gauge is atmospheric pressure (anything less than 1 is vacuum) while the "2" indicates two bars (1 atmosphere + 1 boost).

Most likely, you are just getting used to the car so it doesn't feel as fast.

Exactly. Mine's the same way. Time for a call to Vitesse (once I get some $$$ saved)
