Leak?

[JiN]

Ok, so I swapped out my IC piping for some hardpiping. I wasnt planning on keeping it in there, just testing things out. So I take out the hardpiping, and put back in my stock stuff. With the stock piping back on, my car is like, struggling to stay on. It will either Struggle for a little while, and maybe eventually die. Or it will idle surge for a little while. Yet when I normally drive, it rides like normal. No big loss in boost pressure either. Any ideas? thanks everyone. :)

check for a leak after your MAF. thats all I got. :goodluck:

Rick, check all your connections of the stock IC piping. And check to make sure you don't have a vacuum line off somewhere. Sounds to me like you have a boost leak somewhere, or something isn't connected.

I would say boost leak or MAS plug is disconnected.

Would a shitty throttle body gasket cause all this? I can also hear a small hiss, coming somewhere around the tb and stuff.

Do a boost leak test, might be easier to locate the leak with the engine off.

Ok, I checked my connectors and shit. I dont think I'm missing any. It must be a boost leak somewhere. I'll have to hit up QPR and get it worked out. Thanks a lot guys, if you come up with anything else, lemme know.
