Help please

Has anyone had any problems with injen upper intercooler piping leaking around where the BOV hooks up. I have a greddy BOV and when I hooked up my boost leak tester it was coming from there so I tightened the clamps up and went and drove the car and I'm still having the falling on its face problem under boost. Drives fine out of boost and at very low boost. I'm not getting a check engine light. Please help with any ideas.

I've never been told a good thing about Injen. That seems to be the problem, it doesn't flow any better than stock so go back to the factory setup.

I have not had any issues with my injen kit. Improved spool up and has been rock solid for many years. It was the first mod I personally put on my car.

Have you done a boost leak test yet to verify that it is leaking from there?

Yea I did leak test it and it was coming from the coupler for the bov. I tried to tighten it and I thought I got it to go away but went and drove the car and no such luck. I'm gonna do a more extensive boost leak check tomorrow

You may need to buy a new clamp. Try to use hairspray as well to help it hold on to the pipe.

Get rid of the Greddy. The IX DV(metal version) will be fine for your present turbo and/or the Red. There are other BOV/DV options out there that are good. Just not the Greddy.
