I seem to have a big boost leak somewhere, and its pissing me off.
I've done a test multiple times but im pretty sure my tester isn't seating well on the turbo because I can't really pressurize the system. Also, I have a tank, not a compressor type deal, so I'm getting tired of having to fill it up all the time. Most of you don't know me although I used to post when I had a blue GSX. If anyone has some free time and would like to help me, I'll drive to your place, it doesn't matter to me. I just really want to get this fixed before MOD so that my car is running nice and good. Help me out and I'll buy you some beer O and background story on the problem: Can't boost over 5psi, and thats with vacuum line hooked right up to the wastegate. so its either a leak, or the flapper. Most likely a leak. Thanks. AIM is TwistedDrum5 is anyone wants to talk. |

QUOTE (turbohcar @ Jul 24 2007, 08:39 PM) When the wastegate is hooked directly the J-pipe it will only create 5lbs of pressure. Hook it back up to the stock boost controller and see if it helps any as far as that goes. Make sure to have someone help you with the boost leak checks. While I can't do it myself, I'm sure someone will speak up and say so. Do you know what the stock boost controller layout looks like? |
