Actually, I fixed the gasket and RTVed it and she still leaks a little. Conclusion we came to at db is that the throttle body shaft is leaking a little. After throwing the car on the dyno and laughing at my numbers we knew there had to have been a boost leak or exhaust leak somewhere. All the ic pipes are good and there are no obvious exhaust leaks that you can hear. Shane thought it might be the hks wg. I took it apart and found a bolt that had come off, but after replacing that it doesn't seem that like was the culprit. I am planning on taking the wg apart a little more than I did last night later today. If you have any advice as to why my turbo hits 10psi at 5400 and 20 psi at 7400 lmk
p.s I told you guys I had more lag than I should!
That's what the wg looked like when I took it apart. Shane made a good point that the spring would hold that piece down, so the fact that the bolt came off isn't that big of a deal.
Also, anybody know if hks has any warranties on their stuff or if I have a chance at getting $500 wg replaced?
