the last 2 times i drove my evo i lost a lot of boost and found it was due to the upper intercooler piping not being completeley on... one of teh silicon hoses was partially off. i checked the piping before a left for vacation and didnt notice that it was an underside of one of the silicon hoses on the upper intercooler pipe that was causing this.
the service engine light then went on the second time i drove it not knowing what the problem was. should i tighten it and be fine to drive the car around agian? or should i take it to a shop to see if everythin is ok?

 

should you tighten it ? thats a dumb ques.. fix it and then read the codes to see if anything else is wrong..

 

well im sayin will it be fine when its all tightened up

 

i guess i can always just disconnect and reconnect the negative terminal after i tighten the piping to get rid of that service engine light

 

okay then do it the half assed way..

get the codes read, fix the car the right way, or take it to someone who can..

 

heheeheheh...you said tight....hehehhehe


now seriously.....tighten the damn clamp.....think about it 20psi.....your average baloon has 3psi, the average basketball has 8 psi, and you think your thumb tightening is going to hold 20 psi?

dude you need help.....

I hate the fact that sooo many people with sooooo little mechanical ability own fast cars. If you can't keep your hose tight you should not be shoving your boost into it.

 

im not worried about the clamp. i want to konw if teh car will be ok.. and if i need to get a scan where can i go to get one? auto zone?

 

ya im gonna go do that thanks

 

t-clamps are you friend

 

ok its a po234

 

its a engine overboost.
is it saying that because i run 21 psi?

 

hmmm i think that might be it

 

get silicon tubing and call it a day its how i ended my problems. MMM SAMCO
