After seeing a few threads recently with guys having boost leaks, I decided to hit the engine bay with some soapy water. Got a nice big bubble from the couple that connects the UICP to the throttle body on the side of the coupler away from the TB. The bubble was from the back of the coupler near the firewall so I just never noticed the coupler wasn't snug on the pipe. The clamp wasn't tightened down enough due to the coupler being on a bend in the piping (t clamp) so I took that one off and threw on a worm clamp instead and got her nice and snug on the pipe. Later on I went for a drive and noticed the car pulled just a bit harder than before but more noticeable was improvement in shifting. Before I fixed the leak when I would shift unless I babied the clutch a little, it would be a rough shift through almost all gears. Now, smooth shifts every time. Like now I brace my neck for the impending rough shift just out of habit but it's almost all but gone away lol. Like driving a different car now.

 

You should have known...

 

Should have known what?

 

in the future upgrade you clamps to T bolt style ,you won't regret.glad you fixed your leaks.

 

T bolt clamp was the problem. No matter how I positioned it or how tight I tried to get it, it wouldn't squeeze all the way down on the coupler due to the bend in the pipe being right by the coupler. Worm clamp did the trick. Not my preference but should be ok for now.

 

good fixing your leak.
