mods?

 

1000cc injector MBC, LICP,TBE catless ,Fabriated intake, throttle body upgraded radiator, FMIC, stock 8 turbo

 

car was backfiring like crazy so thats why i lowered the boost.

 

im assuming your tuned? car wouldnt good, not even sure at all on unscaled 1000cc injectors

 

yes tuned by sean ivey at iveytuning in linden

 

a friend of mine came with me and basically said your car feels slower... i agreed. idk if it engine based or maybe my turbo is going? evo 8 turbo never changed with 84k on it 26psi is the highest i boosted at

 

have you check for any boost leaks lately?

check the turbo shaft play if you think its going bad

 

hmm, ha how do i check for that? boost leak and shaft play

 

to check for shaft play, pull your intake pipe off the inlet and use your finger and try to move the shaft up and down and in and out.

to do a boost leak test. search on here to figure out how to make the connector. but basically your going to put the connector on the turbo inlet, fill it up with air to pressurize the system, and listen for leaks

 

do you think its the turbo or do you think its the engine? engine was backfiring before i lowered the boost and now even if i go to raise the boost on the boost controller it wont go up.
