dude just go somewhere and get a boost leak test. any tuner garage will have one. from there you can discover where your leak is coming from if indeed you have one. if no leak then you can resort to checking out your wastegate and manifolds.

 

Do you have aftermarket headers or O2 housing or both? Sometimes the bolt tends to back out from running the car hard due to the stainless tubular construction which can cause a leak through the gasket.

 

Driving around today and it feels like my turbo isn't kicking in quite as much as it used to... Doesn't seem to kick in til about 4000+... even then it seems like there isn't quite as much there as there used to be. Do you think it's possible there is a leak somewhere that's letting some of the pressure out? I've only had it for 5 days and there are only 700 miles.. so that couldn't be it could it?? I was thinking maybe i was just getting used to it, but my gf agrees that it doesn't quite put you back in your seat like it used to.. any tips on how to check or places i could get it checked.. prices? Any info will help, thanks.

 

Thread malfunction.

 

no, all i have is the stock one at the bottom of the center consel...makes it real easy to watch the road and the guage at the same time.. if i bought one and hooked it up, what would i do from there?

 

alright, thanks...dont really have any tuner shops close by..but idk.. i'll try to figure somewhere out..and if it's the wastegate or manifolds..will a new one be needed i take it??
