yes thank you carbon

 

i think the afrs would be that bad, but then as you get wideband and more gauges you might get paranoid and settle with an ems to tune it lol

 

I have seen this happen on one car a few times and could not figure it out until recently. He ended up having a pipe that had gotten a VERY small hole in it due to some debris he had ran over on the highway or something. I had asked him about hitting anything recently, and he said he had ran over something a few days ago before the code tripped.

I pulled off a few pipes and discovered the gash/hole. Fixed, end of story.

 

ill get a boostleak tester on it this weeke

 

Most def. Report back with findings.

 

hey paul how effective is a boostleak tester on our cars ive notice the throttlw body to not be completely close when off...wouldnt air leak through there and into the motor...then again the motor would act as the final seal right

 

Don wrote an excellent DIY for this app.

k well i did the boost leak test i leaked two couplers...lol they were loose, k got that fixed next problem...

i did a boost leak test from the intake of the compressor and when i did it i noticed smoke coming from the crankcase breather, not like pressurised air just smoke,

before u go and say oh well looks like rings or valve seals are shot...

im thinking that maybe i have boost leaking past the turbo seals since they arent filled with oil and then the air is going down through the return hose and into the oil pan thus causing crankcase smoke...


please verify....

 

 

lol please dont.....

motor has only 32k on it and i highly doubt ring damage, car runs perfect and the car never smokes......

 

u dont go being boosted without haveing a fuel managment and not getting tuned and not expect to have problem's.

 

I have 14 k on my car and it smokes a bit at start up, but im running rich need a tune just waiting on the funds mike , yesterday my car started running funny also i just reset the ecu and no problems since them but i think i have a leek im at 5 psi now instead of 11 psi, i didnt turn it down or nothing. Maybe the tune or a boost leak def.

 

by no means am i complaining..if the motor gets fried ptuning will be a happy shop....but yea i was reading online and they say its normal for boost to leak into the crankcase during a boost leak test, its one of those things that leaks only during a test but not while driving..
