Re: finally started my turbo shit..
 

Well now I need you to get me ten of those bends, or make it 4 bends and 6 straights.... :-* ;)


It's looking good.
Did you fix the idle?

Re: finally started my turbo shit..
 

still working on the idel issue. i am pretty sure its the broken tps causing it and the reason why its bogging is either that or i may be a tooth off for timing. ima work on my ---- tonght since i got off. ill let you nigs know whats up tonight

Re: finally started my turbo shit..
 

Those welds look pretty sweet. lol

Another way to pressure test them is to buy a PVC cap that fits inside a coupler, then drill a hole in it and install a valve stem. Then just cap one end of the pipe, and pressurize it and stick it under the water, that way you can tell if there are any leaks.

I just did this to my pipes which I thought were perfect and found about 10 tiny ass pinholes that were impossible to find without doing the pressure test.

I made my boost leak tester for a total of $2.

Re: finally started my turbo shit..
 

and my couplers have totalled 0$. And i have piece of mind that my ic piping wont leak.

Re: finally started my turbo shit..
 

ok. its been a while. ----, girlfriends take up a lot of time. anyways i ditched the ghetto ic piping. fgor some good couplers and ----. got my bov welded on, and the whole cold side has been mocked up. i also got my log maniold and got it bolted up to the turbo today. looks pretty good. i also ordered my stealthmode oil lines and ssac external wg. ---- is finally coming together. Oh yea. i think my spuddering problems is the result of a bunk dizzzy. now my car will only start on occasion. ------- h-t dizzy i thought was good. anyways less talk and more pics.

You're going to put clamps on the couplers, right? What turbo is, brand new?


Oh and don't sniff coke out of your engine bay. That's just dirty.

The way your idle stops bouncing sounds when you take the tps off sounds like you have the tps and map sensor switched-- thatd make it run shitty too. Try it if you haven't already-- they plug right into one another, but if you look real close the right one will snap on properly and the other one just kind of slides on and sits there.

I worked at autozone for a while and a bunch of puerto rican guys pulled up one day in a z6 swapped ef hatch that was revving up and down like crazy and running like ----. The tps and map sensors were switched, fixed that and the idle stabilized a little, but it was running on 3 cylinders. Plugs were fouled from running so rich-- new plugs and all 4 firing now, but shitty idle is back. Turned out that his map sensor was bad (dunno why that would make your idle bounce, but when I switched mine with his, it ran like a dream). Just a thought or two
