DO ONE!!!

just discovered that my issues with boost falling off was not the 16G, thats right people i could of went 11.8 or 11.7 but i had a huge boost leak, at 10 psi the throttle body elbow was leaking like a sieve.
So far the problem seems to be the gasket with broke off in 3 pieces and was crunchy like a chip.

I haven't touched the car since, but i wanted to help out everyone else.
If something doesn't seem right or boost falls off, do a test.

Oh how i miss my 16G.

Whats a boost leak test? Isn't that some kind of elderly drink? I thought that they came in sealed containers? Wouldn't you know if they were leaking when you bought them at the store? I'm very confused.

^you should be, you drive around in Jeeps & other crappy cars, while your DSM sits at home sad that it has been given up on.

LOL earth to brownman!!!! Do this any time you are going to do any sort of tuning, or you are throwing your time and money away!

^thanks man, we just figured it was normal for the 16G, and i didn't think i had a leak since i had no problem with pipes blowing off, but my understanding of boost leaks is becoming bigger.
I miss you guys, i gotta make it to a tuesday night meet soon.

That's right homo! And you better be pimpin a big belt buckle and a rainbow sticker on your bumper to boot! ;)

Oh, how I miss the tuesday night meats. Boneless wings ftw. maybe not anymore, I guess. lol.

[turbotalon1g]

boneless wings, frum rolls, edit. late night run ins with the cops.
I don't think they will ever be the same again.
I can do the big belt buckle, but the rainbow sticker could be tough.
