So im in a bit of a dilema. I just put in my 16g in and replaced the header gasket.
Now when I boost what I can get, it sounds like a balloon getting the air pinched out of it. Every single time I boost it, it happens. Now that brings me to my second problem when I floor it it sounds like its backfiring? idk i cant really explain it. It just falls on its face literally the car will not like let me boost above 10 pounds otherwise it does that. The sound I think is a boost leak but i need opinions.
Now I have a broken off injector bolt I havent fixed yet. Could that be where the sound is coming from and why boost isnt there?
Mod List

16g
boost controller
680cc injectors
Thanks

. I went throught this exact same problem. Try to seal your j-pipe to your turbo connection better, the car is falling on its face because your getting knock and lots of it. Take some gasket sealer(orange stuff) and go around the gasket of the j-pipe. thats where the sound is coming from. Do a BLT and start at the turbo.
The only other place I can think of is the injectors somewhere because theres only 2 bolts holding the rail on instead of 3
, good to have those odd things happen to you so the next time they happen to you or others, you know exactly what what the cause haha.
