Hey,

Just like the title suggests, I can't get my eclipse to get past atmospheric pressure (0psi of boost) and because of that my car is having a lot of AFR issues relating to that.

I think it's either the blow off valve, a greddy type RS I bought from another forum member, or the intercooler piping, since when I took it off I found it to be a amalgamation of the stock intercooler hosing, pvc-type pipes, and aluminum pipes attached to a t25 with the outlet chopped off.

Anyone experience this and know of a way to test this? I don't have an air compressor so I can't really do a boost leak test.
 
You need to find an air compressor. In the mean time, from the sound of things, replace your IC piping. That concoction can't be doing you any good.
 
I ended up going over all my hoses and found a small section of the stock hosing that wasn't sealed up properly so I fought to get it sealed up, got the blow off valve sealed off and ended up getting 7 psi and some compressor surge.

I have a 16g coming in and will replace the intercooler piping when I put it on, so I'm not worried about the turbo for now. I just need to know what all I need to replace on the eclipse, which is a lot haha.

Thank you though man. I think I just needed something to go how I wanted to know I'm not ruining my car any worse than it was.
