  2. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    I will try that tomorrow morning. Yes it seems to be an external leak because I can feel the aik leaking in that area quite a lot. Its not holding air at all. I took it upto 17 psi and as soon as I remove the air pipe ... its all leaks out in like 4-5 seconds. Although the car drives and boosts...
  3. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    ok ... so I replaced the BISS o-ring and fixed the leak. Also I found where the unplugged vacume hose goes ... it was one of the emissions line. Thanks to Taboo's diagrams :thumb:I finally got the air tank as well ... so I did the leak test again today... and its still leaking :|the...

    Thanks! The car is already working MUCH better than before :DStanding on the passenger side, counting from the firewall, its the 4th vacume hose.I looked at Taboo's website and its kind of confusing. I'll study the diagrams once I'm done with my classes for the day :thumb:
  5. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    ok ... so the new gasket and RTV didn't seal the J-Pipe/Turbo Outlet joint. Turns out my J-pipe was slightly bent so it didn't seal. I ordered a J-pipe from Dejon Tool and installed it. The leak stopped.So I did the leak test and it does hold pressure for about 5-7 seconds. I had three...
  6. The Answer to Spark Plug Wires ( Ignition Wires )

    ok this must be lame ... but how often should you change the sparkplug wires? I read a post saying that 2 yrs on a daily driver is too long? I've had magnacore 8.5mm competition wires on my Talon for about 4 years and they are still working just fine. I just replaced the spark plugs today and...
  7. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    Thats alright :)The RTV has been on for about 26 hours now, the only catch is that the instructions say it takes 24 hours to completely cure it at 70F. the tepmeratures here have been below freeing. I'm going to give it another few hours to set and then I'll start the engine for a few...

  10. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    I just checked for shaft play and there is non. Nor is there any oil in there.Here are some pics that might give you idea where the leak is at. Not very good but it might help.Note: The oil on the turbo exhaust housing is because I losened the oil like to fit the J-pipe.
  11. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    The air is leaking from under the leftmost exh-mani runner. Its more like right below the turbo compressor outlet ... somwhere in that area.The turbo seems to be working ... when I press the accelerator and it starts building boost, the car starts the stuttering thing but when I let go I do...
  12. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    Well, I knew I had a leak somewhere but I was driving it anyways ... waiting for the weather to get a little better. At times it drove ok, but at other times it would hardly move. Then one day I accelerated and under high boost (14 psi) it started bucking and missfireing ... like a machinegun...
  13. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    ok ... I fixed the J-pipe gasket and tested the system again. It still didn't hold any pressure. It seems to be leaking from under the exhaust-manifold right next to the turbo outlet. Is there any other line under there other then the J-pipe/turbo compressor outlet? could it be the compressor...
  14. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    THanks for the suggestions old man. I just limped to a gas stating and used the compresser. I have a HUGE leak ... the boost guage didn't even move. The air is leaking from the Turbo air outlet. The gaskit is blown. I'll fix that and move on from there.Thanks again.
  15. Desperate Help needed! Boost leak testing

    I've read quite a lot of boost leak testing threads and I've read the tech article on the topic and have consulted vfaqs as well ... but I still need help.I'm trying to test my intake for leaks and I've made the tester. I've removed the air can and have hooked up the tester to the turbo...
