hey whats up guys as alot of u guys know i have no boost. I can hear it leaking some were by my intake mani any ideas??? i can feel anything>> i have really really low boost but ok vac a bit low nothing big but i heard that when u accelarete the vac lines turn into boost any ideas were the leak could be>>?
 
i did a boost leak test and nothin came up on the bov and i fixed it the werid thing is my bov dont even go off anymore like it has no vac pressure! what i should i check for???????
 
what did you use to blow air thru ur piping? compressor or just a hand tire pump? do it with a compressor and have some one listen for leaks by the IC while you do the air.
 
if theres no boost to blow off that would explain why the bov isnt going off :)


make a tester and test again, its got to be a serious leak if you arent gettingany boost whatsoever, shouldnt be too hard to hear. id go over your entire vac line system and look for one that popped off. zip tie all of them onto the nipples also. anywhere that sees vac also sees boost

also, check your wastegate actuator and arm. if you didnt find a leak last time and you are seeing 0 boost, this seems like the next likliest candidate.. it would take a hell of a leak to get no boost whatsoever, a stuck wg might do it no problem
 
ight thanks alot guys just need someone to point some spots out im gonna work on it all day tommrow so i will let u guys know what it is thanks alot :dsm:
