no boost after a blt

[ernestotalon]

hi everyone i did a boost leak test in my talon today and fix intercooler leaks and didn't get to the injector leaks but when i put it all back together the car wouldn't have any boost with the pedal to the floor any suggestions on fixing this

If it built boost before the BLT then I would go back over everything that you touched. Make sure all clamps, hoses, and couplers on in place and not loose.

Did you hook everything back up?

I would suggest getting your injector seals replaced right away too along with any others you still may have.

yes it did do boost before but tom i will get the o rings for the injectors and look over all the clamps and hoses

If it boosted before and now it doesnt after you fixed the leaks theres something wrong there. I remeber one time my CAS was off a little bit and it wouldnt boost at all but then again when it was off it would fall on its face and i dont think that is what is happening here.

Do you have the original cloth/rubber intake piping? Those do get old and could crack/leak. Are you sure that when you worked on it the only leak was by the injectors?

Just do another boost leak test

Check your wastegate, sounds like it is stuck open.

i agree check your waste gate. I just sold a turbine housing to a guy who was having a similar problem. he was getting only 5 lbs if he redlined. But his was very obviously leaking by. Good luck.
