Re: boost leak

The car only pushed coolant at 25 psi that one time. After it pushed coolant out the back of the block, the car drove fine. I boosted it a few times in the rain a day later (only an ass load of tire spin). All of a sudden it got a boost leak and is running like shit.

So if I turn the motor, it will close the intake vavles and eliminate the HG as a possibility right??? I never thought about the HG producing a leak in the intake path. I tried retorqing the head studs and they were fine. The car is only going to see pump gas so I planned on trying to drop the boost to around 23psi and see if the gasket holds. 23psi should be enough for most.
