Okay, I will check them out if I go that route. Hopefully it's a simple fix.

I'll check out the manifold tonight to see if I need a new one. I will hit you up if I do. If the VTCS is broken, would it be easier to just delete it?

I got off the phone with him a little while ago. He's very unwilling to assist me with any of the issues stating "he doesn't push out projects that are not 100%" and claims it's because I hotrodded it out of the shop. Which is not the case. As bad as it sucks, if I can't convince him to do...

I connected the boost leak test to the intake side. I used the How To on MSF. I used an air compressor and was able to push in 15 lbs, according to a vacuum gauge. I have not done a leak down or compression test yet. That will be done this week. I am currently running a second revision map...

Well I ordered some new studs and locking nuts from Edge last night. I did install a new 3.5 inch intake recently, but the MAF has been calibrated and there are no leaks. Here is the last log I grabbed right after the issue started Friday morning. Unfortunately, it seems as if I will be...

Well the bpv wasn't the issue. Replaced the gasket today. Still not able to build boost. I can build boost around 6500 rpm. But anything before that, it doesn't move. I did a boost leak test and literally found no leaks. A significant amount of air was coming through my oil cap hole, though. Not...

I haven't taken my bpv off recently... That I can think of.. But if it has been off for some time now, it wouldn't make sense because I just started noticing a boost leak. It was mid drive yesterday, and I cant build boost for shit. But, just took the bpv off and it's definitely not there.

This car will be the death of me. It's becoming a trail of fail each day. I am positive I have a boost leak, and the only culprit I could notice was the attached picture. Is this what is causing a boost leak? I'm not sure if it's part of the OEM BPV for vta just in case it needs it or whatever...

I'm not very mechanically inclined and I managed to do both of the above-mentioned. Unless you just lack the space to do them... that's another story, I suppose.

I thought about doing that as well. What are you using to mount it there?

I completely agree. Will any amount of tape assist in protecting it? Just in case? I have a 51R battery in the stock box right now... I'm thinking about removing the battery box this weekend and trimming the box back an inch or two and creating a new bracket to hold the ecu to the battery box.

No, I only have a RMM at the moment. I'm ordering a TMM next paycheck. That half inch doesn't seem to be a whole lot, but it's better than it sitting directly on it.

Okay thanks! I was concerned about the MAF as well. So I readjusted some things and now it looks good. About a half inch space between them.

Will mounting my ecu like this cause any issues?

I'll get it checked out and post my findings. Maybe it just has a harsh bite that I'm not used to. Maybe it's not slipping as much uing disengagment like I am used to... I am not sure.
