boost leak? - 10/9/2006 8:43:49 PM    ryant25bb   Posts: 22 Joined: 10/9/2006 Status: offline My car has been having a rough idle for about 2 months now, i'v replaced plugs,wires,coilpacks,mas,and did a compression test etc. The car drove fine and it boost fine. Until yesterday after i put on a new oil return hose from turbo i took it for a drive and when i came to idle it started to run really rough and the boost gauge read 10 to 15hg of vacuum when it usually reads 20-25hg. And when boosting the car car will hesitate alittle. Is this for sure a boost leak/vacuum leak. Also do i check everything from the intercooler piping to all the vac lines connected to intake manafold. Thanks Post #: 1

So if i was you i would change it to like a greddy type RS with a recirculate kit or something. Im willing to bet its the BOV. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to ryant25bb) Post #: 2

Im going to make a boost leak tester today and hopefully can find the leak. The lose of vacuum my boost gauge indicates does point to a vac leak right. thanks (in reply to ryant25bb) Post #: 3
