boost leaks -- where

[swarm]

I did a boost leak check

lower intercooler pipe was loost.. tightended
Uicp was loost on both ends.. Tightened
Now, i do it again, and the boost still drops.. sounds like it's leaking behind the intake mani/throttle body... What is back there that can leak? Pictures?

Should the boost drop at all when there are no boost leaks? just wondering what to expect here

also, i just went to napa and bought some injector o-rings... there are 2 per injector, so i got 8... are those on the list you gave, but called something else?

Try this place.... <a href = http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=213934> Satan</a>

Ask for Howard, he'll hook you up...
Ask for all 12 injector seals.
4 Insulators (between head and injectors)
4 Sheets (between fuel rail and injector) sounds funny I know, but that's what they're called.
4 O-Rings (on injector inside fuel rail)

Should be between $25 - $30 w/shipping for all 12....
Make sure you get both TB gaskets, between the TB and Intake Manifold, and TB and TB Elbow.

As far as IC piping, I'm going to go with the Greddy IC Piping Kit.
It's both an Upper and Lower set that uses your stock TB Elbow.
The Dejon Tool kit is nice, bout $50 more, but the upper S-pipe has to stay connected to your TB unless you have a endless supply of gaskets...
If you have to work around that area, do a fuel filter or somthing like that, it could be a PITA.... Just my $.02

BTW, I just did a fuel filter.. hehe.. just went through that hell...
(broke fuel line...)
I relocated it, though -- will always be easy from now on...

Injector O-Rings are a tanish color with an inside diameter of an ink pen.
Dude, I told you exactly what you needed.
And to answer your question, no, there are only 4 o-rings....
If you cut the insulator in half it has a square cross-section.
If you cut the sheet in half it has a C-Shaped cross-section.
If you cut the o-ring in half it has a ahhhh.... O shaped cross-section.
They stroked you, I'd take them back and spend the money on the correct Buna-N (material) O-Rings.... Don't skimp on $25.....
Sorry man, but it's your car and your money.......
For my car only........

Injector Seals, there's 12 of them.... I just replaced em, damn thing ran like a raped ape.

TB Shaft seals and gaskets or on order.

Then, just yesterday when coming up into boost from around 2300rpm, I felt the notorious draggin a parachute feeling and I said BULL SH!T... so now I'm on the hunt for yet another boost leak.
Good Luck, boost leaks suck....

you havent done much yet my friend. Ever since i got my car which was 4-5 months back, I have been dealing with boost leaks. I changed TB gaskets, intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gasket and downpipe gasket last two are not related to boost leaks but they were still leaking. I still have boost leaks becuase the car is a DSM. I put a hole in my silicone coupling the other day. How that happened? i dont know. Yet another boost leak to fix. By the way i changed my o-rings and the bottom rubber pieces too. Changing the intake manifold gasket by yourself is quite work. Took me about 3-3.5 hours then it ran fine for a couple of days then started leaking again Put your hand behind the intake manifold and move it as your car idles you should hear the difference in hissing sound coming from that area. So it could be your intake manifold gasket

nobody has answered my question yet -- is it supposed to hold boost steady? or leak it slowly? or what?

It will definitely leak down, pretty fast too if you still have your crappy 2G BOV. Some will leak by the throttle plate also.
