Today I got my new intake pipe installed. No more PVC smile.gif 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 ohmy.gif 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.

my freind has that problem with his supra. hks "really big" series turbo plus fully built jdm engine and 25psi on the stock intercooler. bad idea. at least everything is ok.
Rollout
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.
