i've checked the car up and down trying to find a leak hole lose clamp and cant find anything i guess next is a boost leak tester maybe? where can i find one and does anyone have ideas where i can look for my problem?

1st gear only maxes at 15 psi
2nd and 3rd hit 18ish and drops to 15-16 right after it peaks
4th stays close to holding boost at 19 but looks like maybe its hitting 18
5th holds 19 from what i can see while driving
im running stock boost no boost controller. jus a fuel pump, intake, tbe and tune

car only has 10k miles on it any ideas? i really appreciate any help

 

Almost sounds like your bov is leaking, or your wastegate flapper is sticking open, but your car is really new and the ix bov's shouldnt have problems. Go do a boost leak test and see where it's leaking from.

great post thanks alot im goin today to build that lol

 

I remembered where it was cause I just made one last weekend!

 

Wow! Cool tool. I'll have to remember this one.

 

ceck your t.b. shaft seals.

 

whats TB? yea its good im going to put it together right now

 

Throttle Body

My IX RS is having similar issues. I'm not really sure what's going on. I might take it to the stealership since it's still under warranty.

 

i figured that out as i was walking up stairs lol since IT IS my TB shaft seal leaking!!!

there a better seal or anything i can do to prevent that from happening again? seems like a weak point if im on stock boost and only 10k miles..... hopefully thats the only problem

 

dealer or autozone or a certain dealer on evom....which would be best to order from you think?

 

works has throttle body seals at www.worksevo.com

made a huge difference on my car, $31 shipped.

 

baught the works kit now i just have to figure out how the f to get this apart thanks guys hopefully she'll be back going by friday

 

Do a how-to?

 

give me an idea of how to improve that post you gave me. thats a great How To post! all i know is that i did the tear down (since im getting the parts tomarrow), and im pissed now! lol i was pulling off my upper ic pipe (buschur) and it hit the sensor where the line hooks from the bottom of the intake to the sensor....PISSED now i have another part to order and i pulled it out and tore it apart and it looks like a 100$ part it looks like some sort of valve and i broke the plastic tab off that the line hooks to. SUX!
