Hey guys! I was hoping someone here could help me ...

I drive a 2005 Evo 8 and I'm putting the trunk back together. I had the lining and tire out when I was racing the car. When it comes to the lining I just cannot find those darn plastic pins to keep the parts in place. Anyone here willing to sell theirs or know where I can buy a set??

Any help is greatly appreciated!

-Carter

Recently just purchased an evo 9, need some help with a boost controller issue. The car was tuned at 28psi, then turned down to 10psi to be put up for sale. The boost controller was then removed.

I had an extra boost controller so I put my old one in there and my gauge will read the boost at 5psi, no matter if I turn it up or down. It about has to be a vacuum leak somewhere (or my boost gauge is reading wrong, which it's not... it reads 10psi fine when I hook the lines up back how it was when I originally got it). I've tested all of the lines and they all appear to be leak-free. The only line I didn't test off and check was the line going to the wastegate (but physical inspection doesn't look bad at all). My boost controller isn't leaking because I hooked it up to another car and it works perfectly.

It really should be something simple... I've looked at all the obvious posts and came up with nothing. Everything that everyone is suggesting is what I've checked. I plan on going to street life and I'd really prefer that it gets fixed before street life. Anyone have any suggestions?

Since this pic was taken the fuel and coolant was plumbed, and the wiring harness is nearly complete. Hoping to start this week!

Wiring to the gauge isnt wired properly? (reversed). Maybe ur ground isnt actually a ground or a strong enough point?

I figured it out over the weekend and I know my explanation was kind of generic. Thanks for the help though, it was a leak like I figured.




I plan on going to SLT if anyone else is going.
