Re: Nopi Nationals Sept 24-25 Moroso
Well just got done fixing boost leaks. And here's how things turned out.
Leaks:
1)coupler/IC pipe off turbo, the clamp wasn't even touching the pipe anymore. Only reason it stayed in the coupler was because of how tight it was in the FMIC side.
2) Boost Controler - is leaking big time. But I've heard that was normal so I didn't do anything about it
3) BOV line that goes into the intake. - wasn't tight around the fitting. (could just slide it on and off. Only reason that was staying on was because the line is a little short, so it put pressure on the side of the valve thing. I put a smaller clamp on it and it seems to be holding now as I no longer hear any leaks.
4) TB was leaking by the intake manifold. right under the Biss screw. Some more copper spray fixed that.
5)And last but not least: My brand new 1G Magnus SMI has a pin sized hole in the #4 runner right by the head (ie: the runner closest to the passengerside)
At first I couldn't tell if it was the bolt or not as it's so little air that all I was feeling was a cold draft. I came apon while trying to see if the intake manifold gasket was leaking. tok me quite awhile to see the hole. But it's visable, I tried taking a picture of it but due to the angle it never shows up.
The hole is on the weld from the runner to the Head Plate.
Otherwise the rest of the car checks out I didn't find anything else wrong. I did switch the #1 injector with the #2 injector to see if it's the injector that's failing. But I haven't gone for a drive yet. as I've been messing with this damn laptop for the past 45minutes to get the internet working on it. As Jenny is on the computer.
