awd 1g
small 16g
3" turboback
i was having overboosting issues, lack of power and black soot exhaust at high rpm. i decided to make a boost leak tester, and pressure test charge piping.
leaks: internal wastegate leaking bad, wouldnt even open, diaphragm leaking BAD.
luckily the one on my 13g is the exact same, so i swapped them out. Injector seals are old, one of them leaks extremely bad! im replacing these as soon as i get them from extremepsi. I also can hear a slight leak from my sidemount intercooler, i will be pulling this off in the next few days to clean/test it. Very small leak from BISS screw, im not sure if this is normal or not. i would like to get everything checked out to 20/25 psi with no leaks!
I could not believe the wastegate failed like that.
