my cars been tuned for a little over a week now and ive been getting on it a decent amount here and there and never had a pproblem. well yesterday i went to work and parked my car and went inside. i went to leave work and backed out of my spot slowly and i heard a loud *** thud that i couldnt figure out what it was but it sounded likes something under my car. well ever since then it sounds like i have an exhuast leak or soemthing? and my turbo doesnt spool for ----. all i have for exhuast is my downpipe and its bolted up solid still and i have a perfect seal between head/manifold and manifold/turbo. i cannot figure out what the ---- is going on .

lol just a thought... maybe you had a family of mice or some ---- in there with your turbine
Somehow the family gets lodged in there, causing your shaft to break (thus the "loud thud") and that would explain your "exhaust leak"


Meh I dunno...

ya know... i ------ hate it when that happens

stenseltizm

stupid thought, is the bottom of your dp now crunched blocking flow?

hondacivc93

hmm, i wouldnt think so but i spose i could check?

check for cracks leaks?

start the car lisne to where it might be coming from then feel with your had around for any air pulsations (dont burn your self) and look for carbon build up

ill try again but i looked a little bit last night and didnt see any carbon build up or feel anything.

definetelly cracked manifold, because if it was an exhaust leak after the turbo you would spool faster. I had the same problem on my cheap SS mani. Check for cracks underneath the runners by the head flange and the turbo flange. After mine cracked bad it would only boost like 1-2 pounds of boost at the redline. How's yours?

hondacivc93

full throttle ill build a few pounds of boost by redline... ---- im going to be mad if my manifold cracked. that would just be ------- stupid

Im very positive it's the manifold. Get under the car with a flashlight and check for visible exhast leak/crack on the manifold. Hope it wasn't an expensive one.
