Reasons why I would have a boost leak?

[laserturbo91]

What else could cause the car to leak.
vac. hoses
hole in upper or lower IC pipes
hole in IC
BOV
bad BCS
bad ECU

Any other reasons the car would have a boost leak?

Thanks
Jeff

Other places to check:

Throttle body plate shaft seal
Throttle body gasket
Injectors (mine were leaking pretty bad)
BOV flange
BISS
Intake manifold gasket
Boost gage tubing

Good Luck-Scott

IC pipes!!! Especially if you are runnning the factory rubbers. I have seen a lot of those with small cracks that expand to huge opening un pressure. but check all of the above and you should be good. The only other things is check your IC for anykind of cracks. Had one car some to me wonderin about a boost leak and he had a hole the size of a penny on the side of his FMIC i didnt even bother to ask how the hell that happened.

hope it helps. good luck

Another thing I have seen is in places that actually have winter and get salt on the roads corrosion will eat the aluminium inlet/outlet on the stock sidemount I/C. Check those too while you're at it.

Theft could be a reason.

Last time I was at the tracks I wasn't racing and parked my car in the general parking lot and somone crawled under my car and stole the two clamps off of my IC. I didn't notice until they blew off and would never have thought to look...

Thanks again guys. Ill have to barrow my friends IC soon if he'll let me to try. Also the stock hoses do look a bit aged...btw prostreet do you sell IC hoses?
