hi guys sorry to bother you but i have a problem holding my boost and cant figure out why its not holding it... it will spike 25 and normally holds it but then all of a sudden it started dropping to 15 lbs... anyone can make a suggestion on why this would happen thank you

 

boost leak test?

 

not yet gonna have to i guess... no lines are losse or anything so idk

 

Bad boost controller, stuck wastegate, boost leak.

 

boost controller is fine dont know about the wastegate, and how do i go about getting a boost leak check?? it was all fine before i went to the track yesterday and worked great at the track but after i left it started not holding the boost

 

search for boost leak test or tester

 

boost leak test and i see you have an aftermarket intake but if you have the snorkel from the stock intake still on, check on those tabs

 

i have an aftermarket k&n cone on the stock rubber piping and all the hoses are attached and look fine

 

tharts fine budy, but you wont see a boost leak, you will barely hear it sometimes even doing a boost leak test.

it can be too many thinkgs most common, BOV, loose intercoolers pipes clamps, wastegate, do a boost leak test that will 95% of the time tell you whats wrong.

in my case i wasnt holding boost on top, changed stock diverter to a forge RS and hold 26 psi all the way to 7k believe it of not,,,,, but of course is Jesrtr tunned, he has some tricks to hold on top

 

i guess i have to because i checked all the I/C piping and its on nice and tight, anf i have a type RS BOV figured maybe it was that so switched back to stock same thing though...

 

how do you go about getting a boost leak check???

 

the easiest way is to get a pipe cap that matches the size of the inducer hole on your turbo (I think it is 2.5") you drill a hole in it (1/2" bit I believe) and then get a valve stem and put it through the hole you just drilled, make sure it fits tight. Then use either a coupling that you have on your intake or get something to allow you to seal it against the turbo. Then just pump the system up with air and listen!
