Boost Problems


Playboy

Recommended Posts

I saw Silicone Turbo piping available (like Samco) for I/C but where vac/boost lines can be bought? I mean the small ones (5, 7mm) going to wastegate, solenoid valve ...

Is it available in lenght of X feet and you cut it to your needs?

Let me set you guys straight:

1. It will not be a failing MAF

2. Its rarely the boost gauge, maybe 1/10000000000000000000

3. Check the elbow at the end of hte intake. Mine recently did the same thing, I had a vac line pop off. I'd be willing to bet if you checked the vac tree, the one at the intake is probably gone. Theresa's was in terrible shape with only 78k miles. Completely split, she was missing 3-5psi as well.

Hum, mine did not hold 14 psi to redline, but then again he is not even boosting that much so im gonna take that back anyways.  :P

mine holds 14-15psi w/out fading.

Doug, when my MAF was failing my boost would not go higher than 6 or 7 PSI and then it would leak down to about 4 or 5 PSI. after swapping in a different MAF, i actually hit 10 PSI and it leaks down to about 7 or 8 PSI now.

i was told by Rich(i think it was Rich) that a MAF could cause boost to be limited. i did not get any CELs until after my car started stalling at stops and stuttering on the freeway.
