Update: I removed my injectors, which i had installed by a local speed shop "Prestige Auto Mechanics" claimed to be a "Professional" on turbo car applications. I judged by reviews which were great. My injectors had the wrong o-rings. Horrible work, they were beat to shit. I guess when they...

I wish it was. I haven’t had this car running for quite awhile

Can i reuse Corksport Injector seals? They're pretty expensive so i hopei can.

Weird actually.... it's metal? or feels metal at least. I usually clean it with degreaser, then soapy water, then rinse it off and let it dry for at least 24 hours before using it. It literally looks like a cone filter, just metal. If that is the case, i will unbolt the rear of the downpipe...

I used a rebar to empty the COBB, and the rear one was removed, and a pipe was welded on at an exhaust shop. So I no longer have any catalytic converters.

Okay, not the catalytic converter. Removed, and emptied. No change. I can hear my turbo more now? Lol 1. catalytic converter - Not it. 2. Injectors???? can injectors cause this issue? I was told if my injector seals go bad my engine won’t make boost. Don’t see how thats possible?

Do you happen to have a picture of what the exhaust system looks like? I didnt know we had a secondary cat...

You have a point. I have never done this, this is my first forced induction car, and so many components that i do not understand. I will make a checklist and start one by one, ruling things out as i go. I never got to actually remove the downpipe, so i am going to try that vacuum trick and...

From MazdaPros in Hollywood Fl i was told that my throttle body is not opening. They examined my throttle body plate compared to my throttle position and they said it doesn't open. So they told me "Hey we can replace the throttle body, and that should get it working." I paid them, they...

I can’t. For some reason my AP is not recognized by my computer now. It thinks it’s a storage device. I can’t even get it to open in AP Manager. I posted a log a couple of replies back, nothing has changed since that log. I’ve contacted COBB and they’re trying to help me figure it out. Until...

Car is still not fixed. HELP ME FIND A REPUTABLE SHOP OR PERSON THAT KNOWS ABOUT THESE CARS MIAMI AREA I do not know what to do from this point on now. I've checked all of the parts involved in boosting, but still stumped. Anyone live near Miami and think they can figure this out? I am more...

Nope, Car is still down. So far i have checked: Turbo MAF MAP O2 sensors Gaskets FMIC Kit Intercooler Injectors Smoke test Boost leak test Wiring Tune It's been to about 4 shops now, all with the same answer "The car runs fine except for the boost issue, we cannot figure it out without...

Update. I used a vacuum pump on my engine. I’m able to hold 20 vacuum on my wastegate, my brake booster, and on my purge valve I can’t really test too well. I found a fuel leak from my fuel return (low pressure) hose. I’m going to replace that. let me add this whenever I make boost my engine...

I will plan on it! I’m just waiting I’ll payday, and I’m contacting FREEKTUNE.

I changed spark plugs, I also replaced the vacuum lines for my EBCS. nothing changed. I got the 2 codes P2009 - VTCS solenoid low current P0403 - EGR something? (I deleted the EGR) My fuel trims are still negative, I have PTO until 9/4. I’m gonna take it this time to go through every inch of...
