[huckernage]

do you still have issue with your car

 

[BlackCobalt707]

oh yea, i havent looked at it to try and solve it. i will prolly some time next week. i got some papers to write for college to concentrate on right now. hopefully my friend comes and checks it out and could figure out for me and hopefully its somethin small

 

[BlackCobalt707]

tuning has began

 

[elecblue06]

nice man.. what happened with the noise

 

[BlackCobalt707]

still there. it doesnt sound bad. im thinkin maybe its my valve springs since they are stiffer then stock. a friend of mine told me i might have a ticking sound because of them.

 

[huckernage]

sound good that hypothesis

 

[BlackCobalt707]

thats what im hoping it is lol

 

[BlackCobalt707]

just did some tuning with vince and HOLY FUCKIN SHIT. that car really moves now and im only on about 8.5-9 psi. i cant wait to up that shit. no more foulin out the plugs in boost. i love this car all of a sudden. i will post videos later when i get more tuning done

Vidz right meow!lol

 

[BlackCobalt707]

lol, dont worry, i will post vids and pics. its still runnin rich and im still workin on gettin my AFRs right but i promise i will post vids and pics lol. i keep blowin off my damn pipes too

 

[FASTL61]

what kind of clamps are you using?

 

[elecblue06]

spray the pipes ith hair spray where the couplers go oer them

 

[BlackCobalt707]

what kind of clamps are you using?

t-bolts and hose clamps

spray the pipes ith hair spray where the couplers go oer them

i forgot all about that. thanks. its mainly 2 places it has been popping off. the pipe coming off the turbo and the pipe goin to the throttle body

 

[BlackCobalt707]

my boost controller is being retarded. its not keeping my boost steady, one time im boostin 10 psi the next 6, the next 9 the next 7. shits all over the place. i know i dont have boost leaks. and if iam i believe i fixed it. might have came from my BOV which i just put a bigger o-ring in so it seats better on the adapter. i dont believe i have an exhaust leak. exhaust is just loud at idle. i dunno. ima try a manual boost controller and see how that goes

 

[BlackCobalt707]

time to fix this exhaust leak as soon as she cools off

 

[BlackCobalt707]

well i got the turbo off and found my exhaust leak. my gaskets that go between the turbo and manifold is done. gotta order more. crush gaskets suck
