whats up guys i am having a odd problem with my 05 rs i just installed a exedy twin disc and a ported intake manifold with a magnus im gasket. when i started the car for the first time i noticed a different idle so pulled it off of the ramps and went to take it for a test drive and its like the car loses all power when i try to accelerate after a couple miles per hour. it almost acts like a intercooler pipe blew off but they are all tight if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
thanks josh

 

Did you do a boost leak test after installing all of this?

 

+1 on the boost leak test

 

The car seems to fall on it's face as the speed sensor should start to read... At idle it runs really rough and if I unplug tha maf it actually smooths out a little and when I plug it back in it gets choppy again.... If I unplug the cam sensor it doesn't change T all so it seems to be in some kind of limp mode or something. Like I said if I excellerate at all it spits and sputters??????? Help please

 

Do a boost leak test and get back to us.

 

found the egr line was sliced so i fixed that now it will kinda drive but wont build boost and when it tries it make a crazy whistle and feels like its being held back wtf is the deal i replaced plugs and everything and still has a rough idle and cuts out when accelerating and wont build boost

 

check your vacuum lines and your manifold and throttle body gaskets for leaks.

 

do a boost leak.

 

So I have tried boost leak tests and failed .... My question is how long do I need to let air into the system before it will read on the gauge it just seems to me that it would take a while to build up the pressure through the system

 

Sounds like it's coming out as quick as its going in. Check where the J Pipe connects to the turbo and where the LICP connects to the j pipe you'll get a heck of a whistle if there is a leak there

 

Will do

 

If all else fails spray any suspect areas with soapy water and watch for bubbles when you pressurize it.

 

Bump help a guy out

 

^^^^^^^^^^lol thank you sir I found the bastard that caused all my problems ....the licp had a crack around the flange at the turbo it's crazy how these cars act with something like that.
Thanks for the help guys

 

Great to hear you sorted it out
