Fix dem leaks son my hair scared you? for once its blonde..and not green, or blue, or red, or purple...haha yeah got some major boost leaks to fix..i might try the hairspray trick on the couplers..at least to get it high enuf to make sure the wastegate opens up..cuz im broke and mandrel bent piping to redo the cold and hot sides is kinda high. |

ok heres a few more pics..got a few issues im tryin to figure out. Only physical thing left to install is the rest of my exhaust...but im getting no or 2-3 psi of boost...ive eliminated a few small boost leaks-redid the hot side piping..theres nothing coming outta my dumptube-so it cant be the wastegate since it doesnt open till it recieved the boost vacuum signal..both the WG and the BOV are ran off the FPR...hell if i know...this boggles me..i havent taken it up the road either so...who knows...took one of the springs outta the BOV and its working halfway..i have a faint whistle once in awhile...i know its not the turbo-you can hear that bastard spool up nicely and loudly, its brand new..im baffled..im going to probably get some more 2.5 mandrel bent pipe and redo the cold side-weld up some piping so it eliminates couplers and possible leak points..anyone got any ideas? it pulls a nice 22 vacuum according to the gauge, then maxes out at 0 during throttle-once in awhile jumps to 2 or 3 psi boost max...

You say you haven't taken it up the road, are you trying to build boost while the car is parked?

Re: I started to boost my crx..1st setup w/pics

Re: I started to boost my crx..1st setup w/pics
Hahaha n00b! I'll bet you have no leaks at all. You can't really build any boost without a load on the engine.
