Ok so today i decided to install all the bolts on i purchased from ETS.
-Ets quiet exhaust
-Ets open dump
-Ets test pipe
-Ets FMIC
-Ets Uicp
-Ets Licp
-Ets intake

At first my boost guage read 0 and would only go up when i hit boost, other than that it would go to 0. That made me curious why it did not read vacuuming but i had to leave the shop cause i had somewhere to go and i was late. Me and the mechanic thought it might be the gauge thats reading wrong so i ignored it and said that IVEY will take care of it when i get it tuned. After getting everything installed i took it out for a drive and everything seemed great. Didnt hear no leaks and boost came on steady and help properly. I planned on getting the car tuned on tuesday so I figured 2 days of driving without a tune cant have any harm on the car. Well after driving the car for about an hr i realized my boost had stopped spooling up. It made me really curious on why it did that. Then it started to idle at 2k rpms. I knew something was wrong at this point and my guy that installed everything had already left the shop.


Any ideas what it could be??

 

Sounds like a boost leak. Check all your couplers for the upper intercooler pipe and the lower intercooler pipe, as well as the intake.

 

+1 on that also check all your vac lines to

 

Don't boost until you get tuned. Is the "boost guage" new? Did it work before all the mods?

Do what sLowEvX said.

 

Check your FPR hose on the intake.

 

Yes the boost guage is new but I can deffienetly tell somethings wrong. Heading out tommorow to the shop to get everything checked up!

 

Where did you tap the gauge into?

 

Not too sure, I can ask. Where is it supposed to be tapped into?

Appreciate all the info guys!

 

Check your Fuel pressure regulator hose. I had my boost gauge tapped there so that way I would know when the hose popped off. High idle and no boost is what I got when it popped off. Guess your installer might have installed it there. She is also running lean if that's the case. Hose is by your oil dipstick.

 

in for details. Makes sure the boost gauge is tapped off the intake manifold not before throttle body.

 

Drive it back to Ivey nice and easy and have them conduct a boost leak test.

 

+1 Ivey will take care of it. Not to worry

 

Got everything back to normal! It turned out my lower intercooler piping had popped off its clamp. Everything is good now an boost gauge is reading right. Heading out to Ivey tomorrow and really excited too see what im gonna be getting out of the evo.

I really appreciate all the help guys!!!

 

You said it was idling at 2000 rpm, that's usually an indication the car went into limp mode from over boost. That would explain why you aren't getting any boosties also. Should be taken care of with a tune.

 

Did you do a real boost leak test as advised by most of the posters in your thread?
