Stupid BOOST!!!!!

[bcj72mx]

Alright here is my deal my car was just put back together by me and for a while it wasn't boosting like it should you could tell that it wanted to but it just wasn't putting out. Well when i put it back together i put a boost leak tester on it and for some strange reason it fixed the problem and i was boosting fine for about 4 days and now its getting back to the way that it was. If anyone could help me try and figure this out that would be awsome im thinking there is either a clog somewhere or a stuck wastegate.

during those 4 days u messed with something

turn it back or start over again

back track to what u did in those 4 days

during those 4 days i didn't do anything my car ran awsome and then slowly it started not putting out the boost that it was during those few days. the thing that made it start producing was when i put the boost leak tester on it but i want to find a permenent fix.

Where did you put the boost leak tester? You may want to check that connection and see if it loosened up.

I just strapped it straight to the turbo and pressurized the whole system together

Probably your wastegate is going bad... check your vacuums there, or look for failure on the wastegate itself.

how do i check the wastegate is there some kind of test that i can do what about the intake manifold could there be a leak up there too just by and chance
