about two weeks ago i put in a new intake (had K&N, was a noob then) so i replace it with HKS. didnt come with all the bolts and I was running late for a dinner so I had to rush the install unfortunately. so i left for a 45 min. trip, during that time on the way, my top IC hose blew off, put that back on, then the intake hose at the turbo fell off because i didnt tighten the hose clamp tight enough. the car wouldnt run at all. I didnt have any tools with me so i kept having to hop out of the car every 5 min and put in back on, (very embarrasing) then the damn filter at the MAF kept falling off. So i get to my destination and its DARK, i was able to tighten the hose clamp at the turbo, but not the filter. No big deal, it stayed on the whole way home. Since then my car is slow, has an insane boost leak where it boosts to 1.3 bar (used to go to 1.5) then falls to .7 bar. I thought it was my BOV so i replace it today with a forge.
Forge BOV doesnt fix it so I have IC pipes on the way. anyone else have this prolem. I know its not the MBC, its correct. My car is slow and not fun to drive right now. Funny thing is i did a leak test a week before this happened and everything was cool. I had that upper IC pipe TIGHT, it always falls off. Im just pissed, hope nothing fell in the turbo or anything. Any ideas? I miss 22 psi!

 

I know this doesnt help...but It sounds like from now on.......you better let professionals work on your car!

 

no, it just says dont be an idiot and rush to install stuff when you know you dont have the time.

 

^ I agree, pipes falling off the turbo? Back away from the car and drop all the tools.

 

reset your ecu ....disconnect battery for a couple of hours or clear the codes with a scanner ...that should fix it

 

not the ecu he has MBC there has to be a huge leak if thats the only thing you changed

 

probably fried the compressor wheel of the turbo when various pipes "fell off". I don't get it, you switch from a K&N intake to a HKS that doesn't have all the bolts, rush the install, recognizing your top intercooler pipe "always blows off", and then wonder what's wrong with the car?????

My recommendation would be to tighten the nut behind the steering wheel.

 

all that typing for that last sentence. Never heard that one before.
thanks for the...ahem...help.

 

check your compressor wheel for damage. Or did you miss that part?
