2G Boost leak behind intake manifold

[idt512]

Ive got a boost leak that i cannot locate, i hear it behind the intake manifold (driver side) near or above the AC compressor area. What components are back there?

 

[luv2rallye]

The evap emission purge solenoid valve is there.

Mounted on the intake manifold or firewall? I dont see it

Intake manifold down low drivers side, hard to see. Next to AC belt tensioner. I doubt it's your leak though.

@luv2rallye Can you please elaborate?
I thought that the purge solenoid valve was on top of the firewall with all the vacuum lines on it. Did you mean by any chance the EGR valve? Or there is something that I'm missing?

Use soap and water in a bottle to find the leaks it helps a lot

This is for the 2g turbo:

Evap emission purge solenoid valve connector on driver's side (follow it down to the valve bolted onto intake manifold): http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-engine-bay-electrical-connections.298047/page-2#post-151542268. People have reported this solenoid valve location is for 98 and 99 but it appears to be moved around on other years and on the 2.4L.

Firewall has EGR solenoid valve: (http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-engine-bay-electrical-connections.298047/#post-151528392)
and
Fuel pressure solenoid valve: (http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-engine-bay-electrical-connections.298047/#post-151528384)

The EGR valve (which is different than the EGR solenoid valve on firewall) is beneath the throttle body.

@luv2rallye Thanks bro! I'll take a look later to see what I can find.

I see where the confusion was! My car has the purge solenoid next to the egr solenoid at the firewall on the same bracket, and the fuel solenoid its in a different bracket.

Thank you for the clarification brother! Have a great long weekend!

Any news on the boost leak?
