Boost Genious I need your help ...
I have a fucking headache of a problem ..For 2 days now I cant pull anymore than 15-hg on my boost gauge. I have a vaccum leak somewhere and no idea. Ive triple checked and tightened every hose coupling. I can make maybe 1 lbs of boost but thats it. Bov wont go off nothing. Any ideas would be helpful. If you want IM ME @ VTECCRX22 thanks alot

Re: Boost Genious I need your help ...
have you checked every single vacuume line on the car? the ones going to the passenger compartment? off the wastegate? off the BOV? do yo have a leak in your mani? it normally isn't the connections on the vacuume lines that go bad it is the line itself from getting brake kleen or radiator fluid or brake fluid on them and they corrod.

How does the car run? When it's revving up does it start to choke and sputter? If you are using MAF and you have a boost leak, the car will drown itself in fuel. Otherwise your turbo itself may not be spooling correctly (WG stuck open diverting all the exhaust around it, bearings siezed, turbo built wrong and the damn thing could be turning the wrong way...I have heard of this happening before).

Yeah man all lines are brand new ...I swear to god I hope theres no crack in my manifold. Or maybe near the flapper valve ? Its internal wg. But that wouldnt have anything to do with the cars vaccum at idle would it ?

I bought this turbo from TEAM HYBIRD of here and he said it only has around 3k(has no shat play) and it ran PERFECT on his car before hand.

Take the intake off the compressor and see if the turbo is actually spooling when someone revs it....after that, I haven't a clue besides a leak.
I would really re-check your WG config. Probably your best bet.
