Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
DO ONE!!!
just discovered that my issues with boost falling off was not the 16G, thats right people i could of went 11.8 or 11.7 but i had a huge boost leak, at 10 psi the throttle body elbow was leaking like a sieve.
So far the problem seems to be the gasket with broke off in 3 pieces and was crunchy like a chip.
I haven't touched the car since, but i wanted to help out everyone else.
If something doesn't seem right or boost falls off, do a test.
Oh how i miss my 16G.

Re: Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
Whats a boost leak test? Isn't that some kind of elderly drink? I thought that they came in sealed containers? Wouldn't you know if they were leaking when you bought them at the store? I'm very confused.

Re: Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
^thanks man, we just figured it was normal for the 16G, and i didn't think i had a leak since i had no problem with pipes blowing off, but my understanding of boost leaks is becoming bigger.
I miss you guys, i gotta make it to a tuesday night meet soon.

Re: Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
boneless wings, frum rolls, edit. late night run ins with the cops.
I don't think they will ever be the same again.
I can do the big belt buckle, but the rainbow sticker could be tough.

Re: Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
Dammit we could have had more boost! You told me you checked the system, and with the spike we had, I figured that little guy was tapped.
Sad  .

I think it could be like that again. I just need to finish my hoo ride, you need to cure boost leaks. Then that's it. |

Re: Boost leak test. don't roll your eyes.
Ha ha, well, I think a "bottle boost leak" could end way worse than a normal boost leak. How much "boost" are you running btw?
