my car is a pos

[xluciusx]

I'm sure a few of you heard me saying last night at KK that my car was running kind of fucked up. Well its gone to a new level. I can't drive faster than about 45. It feels like its getting bogged down by something. I have pretty much no power at all and I'm fairly certain I don't have a boost leak. I'm going to do a test later tonight.

check the shaft play on your turbo

Boost leak.

I did that then realized that the spark plugs I was running had a - 11 or something which was intended for cooler cars or something. In other words, It caused a rough / bogish ride 3k +. Might want to check that. Boost leak is another strong possiblilty.

Yeah, by "I'm pretty sure I don't have a boost leak" what I meant to say was "Who needs couplings connecting their intercooler to the piping when you can have A HUGE GAPING HOLE!"
I know you sickos like huge gaping holes, dont lie!

Sounds like what happened when i either blew my Turbo, or crankwalked my car, they both happened within a month so i cant remember which one had which symptom.

I could have told you you had a boost leak. same thing happend to me on my way to work one time. the car in 5th gear could only go to 55.it sucked balls. and it was all shitty.

See but I was really thinking I didn't have a boost leak because I had just changed all my couplings to some nice silicone ones.

Maybe your timing is way off. That would make your car seem laggy and slow ass hell. Check your timing marks, you may be in for a surprise.

yup and that would randomly change without throwing the belt
:confused: j/k
My bet would be a boost leak, turbo failure, or spark delivery issue.
