boost leak playa

 

I think I found the problem. When you install a MBC you are supposed to cap the nipple at the inlet of the turbo after you disconnect the stock hose from the boost control solenoid. Well, the cap must have fallen off cause its not there anymore. Put a new cap on. In the process of checking all other hoses and connections to make sure they are tight. Zip tying the crap out of em all. Hopefully this will fix my problems. I'll keep ya posted.

 

if that does not resolve your issue then just send back the ecu I will flash you back to stock and issue you a full refund

Thanks and good luck

 

weather? i was running about 16 psi at the track im guessing because of humidity. other than that, installed wrong or boost leak like they said

 

I think I fixed the problem. Can't test it out on the track but on the street it boosts up tp about 20.5psi and holds 19.5psi pretty solidly all the way through the rpm's. I was pretty sure it wasnt a problem with the flash since the car was running really nice wednesday and thursday. The cap on the inlet to the turbo must have come off sometime Friday before I went to the track. I drive pretty conservatively on the street back and forth to work so I probably wouldn't have noticed it for a while had I not gone to the track.

 

maybe you just suck at driving an AWD vehicle?

 

while I know I'm not the best driver out there, I'm not THAT bad. I'm definately still learning though.

 

Yeah one of my boost hoses fell off a while back and my car ran like Sh**

 

Real nice...he said it was slower than stock, so most likely he didn't become less able to drive the next time he tracked it! He asked for help, not attitude.

As for the car, if you put the mbc in when you got the flash, then it's going to be your fix. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the backup.

 

a boost leak cause me to lose 3mph on my racemap. Then at the strip i blew the damn licp off.

 

dont be soo dramatic, its a car, life goes on

 

i was out of town for a week and when i came back i was driving my car around. the car felt decent, but i got blown away buy a nice Trans Am. i figured i should have at least been able to stay close to him. anyways, went home and tested my hoses, and found i had a boost leak at 8lbs!! tightened everything up and went back and found the WS6 again, this time i smoked him. boost leak can change your car alot, depending on how bad of a leak you got.
