scary Options

Today I got my new intake pipe installed. No more PVC Started a basic tune. When I got that done with that I decided to do a 3rd gear pull. I set some basic numbers for my high throttle and give it a go. When the pull was done my car starts studering really bad. I imediatly got off of the interstate. I look at my logger and it's showing 1.06 on the O2. As I'm roling up to the stoplight off of the throttle I'm seeing .92 and I know something is really wrong. I nursed her long enough to get to my girlfriend's house and when I get there I pop the hood. There's my UICP blown off of the throttle body I was so scared. I pushed it back on and turned the car back on so the turbo could cool off. Luckly nothing broke, but that was scary.

Ah yes I remember back in 93 when this happened to me he first time. When it happens you always think the worse.

Happened to me at least 6 times with my Greddy upper AND lower i/c piping, i ended up having to get some beads rolled for the rubber connects to hook on and put an extra tightener on every joint.... I feel ur pain

I feel a lot better knowing that it just made me really rich. Sure that cuts the life of the rings, but its way better than a burned piston.

Here's a question. Do 1g BOV's usually leak at < 10% throttle. I've always heard this whistle at 10% that I thought was my throttle shaft seals. Well for yesterday I had to vent my BOV and I found that < 10% throttle the BOV opens and creates a vacuum leak. I'm just glad that once I get the hose I need I'll recirculate again. Venting sucks.
