driving home from work today i heard a loud boom like the motor blew but i heard that noise before, so i checked all the hoses and shure enough the bottom left intercooler piping clamp was hanging off but piping was still on? maybe it's loose now or it's leaking from there or something i dont know ? and wihile i was down there(on the floor) i noticed oil leaking ....the car wont go past 10 psi damn i need a lift!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, a loose clamp would make your boost drop. As per the oil leak, that is very starnge.. how much oil leak are we talking about?, many many turbos have a tendency to accumulate oil on the pipes and hoses, not much but they do.

Please recheck the oil drop quantity and location and perhaps we can determine if the oil leak is from condensation on the hoses or from somewhere else.

Stock or not? If so, just take it to the theives at the stealership and make them figure your **** out for free. If not, I'm sure that more of the info that carlos asked for will help us diagnose your problem.

 

no not really stock,
turbo xs front mount intercooler cam's and stuff but the oil was more towards the middle of the car, dont really want to take it to dealer they will charge me. i wish i could take off the front bumper,but im not to shure how, plus it's getting dark in new york so i have to wait till tommorow but there was a nice little puddle of oil under there.but u made me feel better by saying that a loose clamp would do it drop boost i get parnoid u know.

 

i apreciate the help guys

 

yes with those mods u will accumulate more oil in the lower intercooler piping and the intake side of the turbo than most others. A good oil catch can will solve that and it looks to me like you need some good clamps or you might not be tightening them up in the right place or leaving them too lose. Have someone who has done things like this before help you out and show you how in person so you wont have this problem again. No engine check light though huh?

 

ya my check engine light is always on! since the cam's but i defnitly need a oil catch can i heard that many times im just glad i can drive the car to work tommorow,actually i wish i did not have to go to work so i can fix it

 

WOWO
who does your work?

 

turbotrix

 

no good?

 

hmmmm

 

If you take it to a shop to have work done, they should return it the same way you brought it in. No CEL or anything. I would make the shop fix it...better yet, give money back and you take it to someplace where they know what they are doing.

I would be pissed if a shop installed stuff in my car, and my CEL was on afterwards.

 

actually it was on before i went there no cat

 

fixed all problems nevermind
