    Boost Leak

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

    Boost Leak

    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?

    Boost Leak

    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...

    Boost Leak

    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...

    Boost Leak

    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...

    Boost Leak

    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...

    Boost Leak

    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.

    Boost Leak

    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...

    What did you do to your ride today

    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.

    ECU Relocation

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

    ECU Relocation

    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.

    ECU Relocation

    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.

    ECU Relocation

    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.

    ECU Relocation

    Will mounting my ecu like this cause any issues?

    Clutch question

    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.

    Clutch question

    This is my second ACT... I don't recall the first one doing it. Is there a possibility they installed they disc uncentered? Or possibly didn't torque everything correctly? It somewhat feels like part of the clutch is more engaged at certain points. Like a wobbly feeling. I suppose I'll need to...

    Clutch question

    I'm good on the break in... I'm still doing minor pulls while the engine breaks in as well... But I dont think it's normal for it to shake the ever so living hell out of my car when I'm starting to go.

    Clutch question

    So, just got a new long block installed and also installed a new clutch at the same time. The 'reputable' mechanic that I used is starting to cause me to question his reputation. Maybe this is not an issue, but I feel like it is. When I am taking off in first or in reverse, the clutch disengages...

    New Engine Issue

    Money, mainly. Blew the K04 and the engine basically at the same time... so funds were tight. CS turbo was a nice swap without having to change anything out. I decided to go forged for the day that I do decide to upgrade to a 3076 or S4. Oh, I am also getting tuned, so that is in the works...

    New Engine Issue

    Well, it wasn't the tune... It was seriously the smallest damn thing and I'm a little upset they didn't notice it. They forgot to attach a ground wire. It was laying next to the ground, and when the engine would crank, it would cause that wire to connect at times and it would fire up... Under...
