Alright I tried to do a boost leake test, I completely took off the intake and plugged the MBC hoses. I plugged my tester into the intake port. I did 2 or 3 pumps and it wont build any boost up even though I can build up to like 10 psi before it starts cutting out in my car. It couldnt be fuel cut becaue i have checked all that out and sometimes the car feels like it has no boost leak (rarely). When I pump it up I hear a sound coming from the upper I/C pipe, but thats not what it is. It is after it where it hooks in but I couldnt pinpoint where it was coming from or what it is.
 
You know that your other account is only temporarily suspended... It's not like you're banned from the site. Anywho, back on topic. You might have such a bad boost leak that it all leaks out before it can even pressurize.

What's the name of his other account?
 
where could it be coming from Ive checked everything and retightened it all and repositioned it but I cant figure it out.
 
when you say you're pumping it, are you using a hand pump? you will want a an air compressor with a schraider(sp) valve atatchment for the boost test. i hand pump just won't put out enough air for the test. if you hear a leak then check that general area. if you can't find it you can spray wd-40 or something of that nature in the area and look for bubbles. just a warning with the air compressor though, don't allow it to go over what you have you're boost set at or at the most like 20psi. have someone watch your boost gauge if needed. and i say 20psi just to be sure you don't do any damage by accidentally getting too much pressure.

I went to look at his vehicle profile, and glanced at where he comes from. Hoquiam, Washington. That's one of those places you see and immediately recognize it and remember if you've seen it before. So I did some more research and confirmed my hypothesis that this is the same guy that recently got warned and suspended. DSM-Talon. For Bruce to suspend you, you've gotta done something pretty :nono:
 
oh and truthfully I have no idea what i did there was nothing that told me, I have no clue what I could have done but maybe bad spelling.

Whatever it was, you should have taken the suspension like a man instead of trying to go around the system by creating another account.
