Alright well i had a problem a month ago with my rpms taking forever to climb and it would just go nowhere at higher rpms. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180410 After doing a boost leak test again i think the problem was i had a leak at my throttle body after putting on my dejon tool uicp (i hope). I think that would explain the loud noise which was my turbo spinning at its max trying to get the boost up to 16psi which is ton for the turbo already. I bought a new gasket and tightened it down a ton. Now there is a slight difference the rpms climb much faster and it feels somewhat more powerful.
The problem is i still have a slight leak on both sides because it still bubbling and hissing when i spray windex during the leak test and now there is a loud whistle under boost in that area (probably because the leak is now smaller) I originally had planned on getting some type of sealant for it but the guy at napa strongly disagreed so i just bought the gasket. Its still leaking slightly and im stuck in what to do. Should i double up on the gaskets or something or is there anything wrong with using sealant for the throttle body and what kind?
Or i could be wrong all together and this leak doesnt really change a damn thing and its something else
