UPDATE? Should there be anything on this nipple?



Hey guys,

I was driving home from school today (Ohio to CT) and 10 miles from my house in 3rd gear I was boosting and then there a loud noise and than there was no more boost. The car cut out and wouldn't boost over 5psi from there on out. I checked the IC piping and all seemed well. Here is a link to a video I just took.

Video may still be processing on YouTube.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks -Matt

 

check the wga, but it sounds like a huge boost leak

 

boost leak

 

sounds like a leak.

 

if it isn't coming from any of the IC piping (it could be, but I checked and they all seemed to be on tight) what is my next best guess?

 

Boost leak test

 

MONSTER leak. Check the one by the rad fan, they are known to rub and tear.

 

my car did this when I had a bad set of spark plugs in...changed them and ran perfect...

 

T-bolt hose clamps and a little bit of Aquanet max hold.

 

It looks like a vacum line is missing.

 

Does your turbo have a fitting on the compressor housing????

I'm using an mbc. One line to the side port on the wategate and one line to the compressor housing fitting. I do not have anything going to the top port on my waste gate. 26 psi to redline

 

Are you not on the stock WG, right? Stock WGA only has one port, not two!

 

I'm running the boost logic sc61 kit

 

Your WGA is not connected (the exposed nipple tells all) and you likely have a boost leak....

 

Sorry I was not clear as the OP is using an aftermarket Tial gate as am I on a PT61. If he is using an MBC he need only connect to the side port of the WG and then down to the nipple on the compressor housing.
