No Boost after IC Install

[Moffe]

Hey. Got a problem here. Just installed a Greddy UICP and LICP and a Injen Cold Air Intake .. Running on Magnecore sparkplugcables on NGK BPR7es and a Greddy Type RS BOV.

When I test drove it yeeterday I couldnt mangage to get a proper boost. Sounds like all air is leaking out before it reaches the turbo so I checked all the connections but couldnt find anything loose.

Please Help me with this problem.

Hey whats up man-

It's proably just the couplers are'nt tight enough on either of the following areas: intercooler or the turbo, bov make sure the gasket is rtv back on. Just make sure they are as tight as they can possibly get because under boost they have a tendency to pop off. Our cars don't like boost leaks. Another option is make a boost leak tester. I don't think you'll need it for this but just check those areas.

What kind of boost are you getting? Any? I didn't get a chance to read your profile and see if you have a boost gauge. Chances are something's just loose somewhere and leaking out. There are a ton of tutorials on boost leak testers if you have 10 or 15 dollars to make one. I myself used this one, http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201554

Also, when you installed the UICP did you replace both of your throttle body gaskets? Throttle body gaskets should be replaced anytime the seal is broken or you're just asking for a leak.

Let us know what comes up.
