boost leak

if i have a boost leak will it jerk the car like its back firing

well it might, or it might just not drive normal at all and sputter instead of a smooth incline in rpms. it all depends on where the boost leak is

Could it be a spike?

what kinda mods you got? how much boost you running?

Depends on your mods.  A boost leak usually ill make the idle jump up and down.  and the car sputter and want to stall out on hard stops.
 
 
That asside why did you put a pic of an Evo wing in your post?   If your going to put a pic at least make it your car not a dummy pic

yeah i was wondering the same thing,lol
the easiest way to tell is, when ur driving and hit the brakes, the idle will go down then come back up to regular idle

or do it the right way and simply get a boost leak tester and actually test all the charge pipes and FMIC that way

If he can't figure out if he has a boost leak, we won't know how to do a leak test.

well i have after market wastegate, bov, and ams intercooler, with a turboxs boost control, full 3" exhaust, and im trying to finish painting the car before i post the pic thats why and thats all people see when i race them is my ass anyways, so yea. do you think if i upgrade the piping would that work.

i have a boost leak tester but im losing so much its hard to pinpoint were its coming from,

Usually the more air ure loosing the easier its to tell and if ure loosing that much air then check all the clamps and see if they're on right. Another easy way to check is, if u know sum1 with a garage who has an emissions tester, hook it up to the boost leak tester then you'll see the smoke where the leaks are/is

For some reason this just seems like your BSing all of us on here.   Who doesnt have 1 pic of there evo I mean come on lol

if i had an evo i could be in 2 pieces and i'd have a pic of it up, being all proud of it,haha

Wow what crap. So you have an aftermarket wastegate on your stock turbo??! and an AMS intercooler on a stock turbo. Also you have a MBC and you dont even know if you have boost leak. I mean you do have a boost gauge right?
 
What kinda wastegate is this exactly?

The only aftermarket wastegate it can be is an upgraded actuator type one (internal), and what's wrong with an intercooler on a stock turbo, its proven to give you hp without an upgraded turbo. Its a different story if it was an eclipse with a sh**ty t25

i have pics of my car but when it was crush like a can i have been trying to save the money to get it looking good again. yea i wish i could show its off but id rather wait instead of posting a crushed can or what i have now a primed evo. but yea i have a boost gauge, auto meter. and i seen to be doing fine on the stock turbo for know i have a 35-r i had for it but im saling it for a 70. i just have to put on my cams, header, and my small radiator.

how much you want for the 35r? and i'm not gunna lie i'd like to see the pics of a canned evo,lol and for the primed part, they look nasty in primer, how the f*** did it get canned to they way it is? by the way
and i hope you got a clutch if you're slapping an 70. on there, just u won't go anywhere with a stock clutch, and yeah how does it have an aftermarket wastegate on it? cuz that's just dumb and not worth it(to whomever put in on there)

yea i have the aem set aside for that but i trying to sale it for 400 i have a friend who wants it so. im new at this downloading pics on the pc so give me a week. im going back to the yellow, and i have a sea west bumper that im repairing from the rec, and a carbon fiber hood. but no i was driving behind a truck who was racing me and he thought it would be funny and hit the brakes when i was about to pass him we were only going 30.

You sound like 5star

^^ that would be funny as hell. 

soo true

Yeaah he really does
I think this build would be interesting, trying to run a 70 without fuel upgrades,lol or any internal upgrades to the bottom end

Well he does lol

Yeah but it can't be, there's no way he went from a friggen rs or gs to an evo, although we still dunno if this kidd actually has one or not

Whos to say hes not BSing?
