everytime at 3rd gear...i hit 6k..there will be no boost...makes a loud vacuum noise...and i dont know what it is..i shift to 4th gear..and redline with no problem? any suggestions

i changed to mr dv..and it still did that!!!

 

Uh, I already told you the answer to this problem. Did you just ignore it?

 

sorry..i didnt even know u answered my post on that other thread!!!

so..the 2 clips would make that much of a differnce?

 

You did know I answered you, because you responded asking what the "snorkel" was.

Now, don't question me! I didn't just make this crap up out of the blue. I'm telling you EXACTLY what the problem is. It takes 5 seconds to fix this. Go to the trunk, get to 2 fasterners out of the lining, put them in your snorkel, then go boost all the way to 7600rpm with no problems.

If you're clips aren't missing, then it's an entirely different issue, but I have a feeling this is it...

 

yeah..i did answer ur first post...i didnt know about 2nd post!!!

is this wat u r talking bout?

Yes, just get some out of your trunk lining for now.

 

alright..thanx a lot..ill try it out

 

Do it right this moment, then report back. I expect a response in no more than 10 minutes.

 

i cant go drive yet..i have some things to do around the house...probably in 2 hours!!!

 

Gimme a break, it takes just minutes!

 

Hey bro not doubting you or anything, but can u explain more about this solution to his problem, cause I took out my snorkel and was driving without it for a long time and I didnt really get any problem.

 

Without the two clips attached the snorkel will get sucked up to the hood and not allow the air to enter; basically its choking your car.

 

Will only happen on a stock airbox right?

 

Yeah, the snorkel doesnt fit aftermarket intakes.

 

Well, yeah, kinda, but it has nothing to do with the airbox. It only has to do with the stock snorkel, which sucks up against the hood. If you don't have the stock airbox, then the snorkel would never stay in place without the 2 fasteners anyway, so the stock airbox is really irrelevant.

If you don't have the snorkel, then of course, this problem would never occur. There is a whole thread where this is explained in detail if you're interested further. I went through this ordeal and spent a week trying to diagnose what I thought was a "major boost leak."
