I think I may have a boost leak. The car has been running extremely weird since I've been in Texas. That long ride must have pissed the car off. Anyhow, at higher rpms (mid to WOT), the car starts bucking like hell. Sounds like the car's choking on fuel. And now I've noticed that I can punch the throttle, but the car doesn't go like it should. Also, the turbo spools up fully, so I'm pretty sure it's a boost leak. I can't find any obvious area that is leaking, so any common areas that it may be leaking that you boys know of?

If you have access to an air compressor, you could try a boost leak test. All you need is a valve stem, pvc pipe cap, and a fernco plumbing fitting to fit the turbo intake. This will pressurize the intake system and you can listen for leaks. I just did this again a few days ago and found 2 small leaks at my throttle body.
I ended up needing a new gasket and new tb shaft seals. |
