BOOST LEAK
« on: May 19, 2008, 05:22:23 pm »
Hey,

So i belive i got a boost leak.  When i hit about 5 psi the sorat looses power but it only happens sometime other times it pulls hard.  I thought it was where the air leaves the turbo so i put a new gasket in there.  Nothing.  Any ideas.

I wanna take it to mission but i can with the boost leak and carrier bearings as they are.

The best way to know for sure is to make a proper boost leak tester and apply air to find the leaks.

yep, like I've said many times.

PS, this sort of symptom is also caused by putting up a picture of someone ELSES scoobie do on a dsm website  :D
