I tried that, still no boost FML. Okay, so I thought finding this issue was simple. Exhaust gasses spin turbo, turbo pushes air through pipe into engine and boom boost. so somewhere in this there is a problem. If it’s not on the intake side then where? Can injector seals cause this?

Okay, so I’ve exhausted options at this point. I’m guessing my problem is worse than a simple leak. My car holds 20PSI no issue now. Still no boost. it sounds like air is coming straight out of my exhaust. So maybe my IWG? Can I somehow stop it from opening momentarily to check if that’s...

How do I check a BPV? It is a HKS (not sure if it’s real) @Enki it was working well, but if it holds pressure it should be good right? If I remove the tube going back into the intake, and boost leak test with the BPV open it doesn’t let air out. Does that mean it’s good? If there’s another way...

Also adding, my turbo spins freely, no shaft play, no oil inside the housing. CST4 gen 1

Okay guys so I just did a smoke test with the DIY kit, and nothing. All the air comes out of my valve cover. Literally 100% of it. I capped the breather tube, and I regulated my compressor to 20PSI. As soon as the air starts pumping it comes out of my valve cover. For a second it was holding...

Okay, now this is new. How would i go about doing this? Do i have to set the engine to TDC? Lol. I'm already on my way to pick up all the needed parts for the smoke test so i hope i find something new there

Okay, i have to make sure it holds pressure for at least one minute? Other than the FMIC piping, where can the air be leaking from? Just to get an idea of where i should be looking. I am using a regular 8 gallon compressor, I'm not too good with tools as i have to teach myself how to use them...

okay, so maybe I’m doing this incorrectly. when I boost leak test, I attach a coupler I made to my turbo and I set my air compressor to 20psi with my regulator. The compressor never stops hissing out air, is it supposed to hold the 20psi and not leak it from anywhere? edit* I know it’s not...

This is a datalog i was able to get. I have no boost whatsoever. No matter the RPM. I'm really stumped @JohnnyTightlips

I don't have a log yet, i got back today about 2 hours ago. I will get one ASAP. This happened all of a sudden, my K04 took a shit on me. Ever since that happened i have not made boost ever again. I plugged the tube, and i can hold about 20 PSI. My turbo is spinning freely, no problems, my...

Okay where do i begin? I have been home for a total of 3 days in the last 5 months, i have spent all this time between North Carolina and Tennessee . I have been running between my fathers and my mothers house since they are 70 plus, and i have had no time to be home, let alone work on my car...

It depends on the price, because my idea was to drive around for a month until i got an BNR S3 or S4, how much would he want for it?

I will check out my wastegate tonight! I really appreciate that, honestly. Thanks so much i'll PM you once i check it out.

I actually replaced all the vacuum lines with silicone lines, including the one going from the turbo to the bottom of the wastegate. Worst comes to worst and my actuator is bad, would an OEM replacement be sufficient? Is there any aftermarket options? I saw a forge Motorsports one, but it has...

Okay guys, so this is where i'm at right now. I did the above mentioned jump on my wastegate. I jumped the wastegate to my turbo inlet tube, and i'm still getting random boost numbers. 1st - 1-5PSI 2nd - 1-5PSI 3rd - SOMETIMES i can reach 14-16PSI 4th - 5-8PSI 5th - 1-5PSI 6th - 1-3PSI...

Okay, What do i do if i still have no boost after doing this? bad waste gate? The wastegate duty seems okay at WOT its about 50-70% If i did have to replace the wastegate what do you guys recommend?

I am only using 2 ports on the EBCS. One from the wastegate to the EBCS, and another from the intake to the EBCS. I just switch them to check spring pressure?

Thank you for the help!! I will try that today. Do i just leave the BOV without the vacuum line on or do i use a T fitting? I'm learning all of this step by step, so i appreciate the patience guys haha.

Well i just replaced the O2 sensors (again) with OEM parts. I thought it might have been a bad replacement at first. The EBCS is brand new 3 port from corksport. I did notice that it was installed wrong! Lines were reversed, line that went to WG was on the intake tube, and vice versa. i rerouted...

Okay, so I did a boost leak test, and the system will hold pressure. I replaced the BOV gasket that mates it to the FMIC piping as it was leaking. I did the soapy water method, I no leaks anywhere. I checked my EBCS again, and replaced the vacuum lines with new silicone hose. I ran it the OEM...
