Re: terrible boost leak. need help
do you guys at all think it could be the intercooler? possibly a leak somewhere in the intercooler?

Re: terrible boost leak. need help
maybe. fill the bathtub up with water and plug the ends and put the intercooler under water and see if you see any bubbles

Re: terrible boost leak. need help
so the boost leak isn't as bad as i thought. i hit 6.5 lbs yesterday in 2nd gear at 5400 rpms, but that's the fastest i really drove it. i'm going to go out and cruise around today, see how much boost i can make. maybe the wastegate got stuck open, and then it repaired itself? we'll see what happens after today

Re: terrible boost leak. need help
is your wastegate closed shut really tight? You should be making full boost around 3k.

Re: terrible boost leak. need help
that happened to me before, but it was stuck open because the flapper got stuck on the o2 housing when i bolted it up. felt hella dumb lol.

Re: terrible boost leak. need help
so i am officially confused, since today i hit 7.5 lbs, but couldnt hit that boost level at all after that
|
Re: terrible boost leak. need help
maybe the waste gate is getting stuck. If u boost that high and not at all after that then its probably not a constant leak (like a hole or somehting like that) so it would go to the component responsible for regulating the pressure. WG.
