hey guys i just recently bought a 2006 evo 9 mr, and i have a problem, the turbo will spool 4 psi now, and 3 days ago it was boosting 20psi whats my problem. car is all stock.

 

Well, check for boost leaks or vacuum leaks

 

was the car ever modded before and returned to stock when you bought it? boost leaks are the 1st thing you should check for. Try with some soapy water.

 

I would do a boost leak test with an air compressor with a boost leak tester along with soapy water. Just because you can hear the leak and feel it doesnt always acuratelyspot the leak and makes sure there isnt any you also have to see it.

 

Checked for boost leaks didn't find any, but I did not the stock innercooler is bent up about 2 inches in the middle and kinda v's out. Would this be a problem??

 

How did you check for boost leaks? Hopefully that second part is a joke

 

im sure its a massive leak

 

lol

 

Say what now? uhh how did you go about checking the car for a boostleak? I dont think you did becuase if you did the car would still go into boost. Which tool did you use to boostleak test the car?

If it's not a boostleak tester attached to anair compressor then im sorry my friend your did not boostleak test the car correctly. Furthermore you should invest into some tbolt clamps and ziptie down your vacuum lines for extra assurance for prevention of the loss in boost.

I wanna see this bend...

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

if the car is all stock how do you know it's boosting 4psi? and your bent intercooler could be a problem. just a thought.

and i kinda hope this is a joke thread.

 

when did the bend in the ic happen? im assuming u had 20psi before, then hit something and now 4 psi?

sounds like improper placement of a jack, how did u not see that before u bought it?

 

This seems like a major boost leak. Most likely your intercooler is cracked and needs replacement. Otherwise your intercooler pipes have come lose or there is a big hole in one of the couplers. I would personally start by removing the front bumper to see everything.
