I give up....who wants to find my boost leak?
I'm sick of lookin at this thing and no it's not the damn wastegate. Who wants to make a little cash and figure out where this thing is coming from. Single cam Civic turbo with a Greddy Kit on the hack. I know it's gotta be something completely obvious (not wastgate or Boost controller), but you know how the always seems to be the last thing you see. Let me know if you are interested and what you'd charge. Don;t need anyone to fix anything just tell me what I need to fix.

have you tried buying a mechanic's stethoscope and taking the probe off? that will leave the earpieces and an open piece of tubing. it catches small air leaks perfectly. with the earpieces in, just run the tube all along your setup. they cost maybe $5 at autozone or any other auto parts place.

just use a compressor. pressurise the charge pipes and listen for leaks. or run your hand over the charge pipes.
