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.

 

where are you located?

 

Unfortunately not Roanoke...I'm in Va Beach

 

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.

 

He already did that. Next suggestion.....

 

Is the intake system holding pressure?

What is your indicator that you are having a boost leak?

 

if you cant find a boost leak like that, you suck as an individual.


what kind of boost issues are being encountered? how do you know its a boost leak?

 

I don;t own a compressor and the whole point of this thread is to pay someone to find it for me. I don;t have the time or patience. Charge pipes are fine, turbo is fine, wastegate is fine. I'm hitting a max of 5 psi and that is right at redline. Boost controller is good, I even took the vacuum off the wastegate and ran it like that. Still nothing. I just need a fresh perspective. I know it's something easy I'm not seeing.

 

I can speak for my self Brooks. Thanks for tryin though
