Sounds like a BAD boost leak. If you don't have any shop in Fallon that can do a boost leak test come up here to Modified Auto. If you want to try to do it yourself do a search on here for how to make a boost leak tester. Than you take the intake pipe off your turbo, put on the tester, put the engine to TDC and use compressed air to get it up to 24psi and listen for leaks.

 

Might be a vacuum leak

 

True. Since your vacuum at idle is really low.

 

Vaccum leak

 

how do you troubleshoot a vacum leak??? same as aboost leak i asume....ive been trying to get a hold of allan at modefied but no answer...is he on vecation of something?

 

Not that i know of. You can also PM J.erk. He works for Allan. They normally work late. My car was finished at 11pm .

 

Here you go...........http://www.boostpro.net/guidesdsmleaktest.html


Cool thing for is, I work at a supply house that has all this stuff. Best for you to go to a lowe's or home depot to make it.

 

here's a step by step http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html

 

If the leak is bad enough you can prob use a soapy water and spray all your vacuum fittings and see where it bubbles up.

 

While the motor is running.

 

i tried the soapy water thing no luck....so anyways, i took it to modefied today., turned out that somehow my timing chain skipped a tooth., so my car is still there untils allan can get a timing belt tensioner tool so he can fix it. it sucks!!!! but atleast now, i know whas wrong whith it.

 

It skipped a tooth? Are you getting a new timing belt tensioner

 

yeah. gonna order one today from mitsu.(modefied is gonna order it)...
