has anyone else blown the gasket between the turbo and the j-pipe before? is that common? some how i blew mine yesterday

 

how many miles u got on your car? i have about 2900 and no problems...

 

3400 im just curious how common it is and if i need to stock up on the gaskets or not lol

 

Take it to the dealer and have them fix it for FREEEEEEEE!

 

I have not heard of that happening. Did this have anything to do with your efforts to swap out the EBC for the stock boost lines?

 

no i ended up not swapping it out

 

Never heard of such a thing...

 

Were you able to program the EBC to achieve desired boost levels?

Since this is somewhat bizarre, I guess I have to ask ...

What were you doing when this gasket blew? How did you know it was blown?

 

i dont really know exactly when it blew because lately ive been granny driving tryin to keep gas mileage reasonable and a couple days ago i gave it enough gas to spool up and it made a loud whistle noise so i boost leak tested it and stuck my hand down in the area where i could hear the air and felt it

 

So, because you felt some air leaking out, you concluded that the gasket was blown? Did you take it apart and confirm? Boost leaks at the IC connections are pretty normal...
