Do I have a slight boost problem? and a few other Q's

Ok, here goes:

I have been reading up on this for a couple of days trying to gauge if I have a problem or not...

Is it normal to have lower boost numbers with cooler temperatures? if so, how much lower? I used to hit near 21-22 PSI with my superchips programmer, now its 17-18 at best. From the reading I have done, I decided to buy Hahn I/C piping (about 5 minutes ago) on ebay($150) I feel like if its leaking, the pipes are the culprit.

and another question...The Hahn pipes have a 3 bar map sensor included http://www.ebay.com/itm/HHr-SS-inter...vip=true&rt=nc. is this usable or do I have to tune for it? and how about the little nipple coming off of the cold side pipe? what hooks up to it?(I have never looked at my cold side pipe that closely)

Thanks for your help in advance, and answering questions that I may have been able to dig for

I thought you were tuned ? How much colder, mine wouldn't run (barely got down the hill) at -19 Fahrenheit. Don't know about your mystery nipple, I am keeping the lower rubber snake.

This topic got dirty quick.....

I have the superchips "canned" tune. When you say lower rubber snake I assume you mean cold side? Or hot side? I got a screaming deal on the pipes and I'll leave the cold side stock if I have to. But it comes with a "gm performance sensor" which I assume is the 3 bar. I'm wondering if its compatible with the superchips.

Yea get the two pack if it's a deal, you could always just use the sensor on the stock pipe too. You will just have to try it I haven't heard of anyone trying that with superchips. The Gm sensors are a two pack also, one on top one on bottom.

So is it simple enough to swap out the sensors? I will use the stock map sensor, considering I am not looking for crazy high boost numbers. 22 psi is plenty for me(for now).
