Hey guys, changed my supercharger oil a week or so ago, used Intense Oil, and it only used like 3/4 of the bottle to fill it to the top of the hole. I also installed an intake when I did this. I've driven it at least 200 miles this week and the other day I realized when I passed someone the boost needle would'nt go past half. Havn't had any strange noises. Just not sure if I could have overfilled it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Make sure you did not lose a vacuum line to the bypass. Also make sure your belt is still there. That is what I noticed first when my pulley siezed and I lost it.

Not saying it has anyhing to do with the oil change, but it may have been one of those odd timing issues.

Just changing the oil alone should not cause boost to go away. It is controlled by the BCS and a belt.

Yep, the oil has nothing to do with the amount of boost.
