FMIC Hot pipe pinhole leak loss of over 50 horse?!?!

[domenico_169]

I used to have an evo III on my car and tuned it to have 295.3 horse, and 297 ft/lbs. I put in a bullseye 50 trim and 650 cc injectors to repalce my 550's. i drove the car around for a week or so before dynoing it and it felt like the same amount of power but 5 psi less... so i finally take it to the dyno yesterday and start off with 225 horse. get it tuned nicely with no knock to a maximum of 255 horse. OH YEAH!!! ANGRY AS HELL AT THIS POINT!! so after wasting the time and money i take the car home and do a boost leak test, and find out there is a leak in the intercooler pipe (hot pipe) just wondering if this could possibly casue this much power loss or is there another underlying problem?

if it's a pinhole leak, you have other problems...

curious, what were your dyno sheets like?

perhaps it was the turbo itself

i didnt print out the dyno sheet, i was too pissed off, so i just took my car off and left. we compared my 295 whp run to this one and they would have looked the same expect the evo obviously spooled like nuts and where this one should have kept on climbing it just leveled out. the hole did leak, i guess its a pin hole leak persay... i dont know, im just so frustrated. i obviously had enough fuel, and i was praying it wasnt the turbo... because BULLSEYE power has the ABSOLUTE WORST cusomter service ive ever had. when i was interested in buying the turbo they answered my e-mail within minutes.... the second they found out i had a problem with my lines they STOPPED returning ALL my e-mails... there losers. anyways im hoping it was a leak causing it.

fix it up and report back.. you should post up on vendorsreviewed to ensure other people know about your ill-dealing with bullseye
