issues boosting

[Guest]

i had the same problem with my old 7 bolt motor...and it got really screwed so i got a 6 bolt and it did almost the same thing...it would sputter...then take off and then boost up to 20+psi

do you think that one of your boost leaks is coming from the boost controller?

Yeah I did make some thing to check for boost leaks and the boost controller was one of them, then I had one between the turbo and j pipe, then I had one on the intake manifold. I fixed them all, the boost controller still leaks a little but at 50 psi, so it shouldnt be an issue.

did you ever fix it, or is it still the same?

a leak is a leak

if it doesn't leak till 50psi then its not really an issue

intercooler pipes will blow off at high pressure like that too... but we don't boost that much so its not like it matters?

where should I have my bov vacuum hose connected to. Its on one of the throttle body connections right now, and I think its wrong but im not sure.

Yep tap it off the Intake manifold. Also you could tap it off the J-pipe.. Have you done a compression check on your new engine? just wondering what you get!

I have a dejon tool j pipe and it doesnt have a tap on it, and no i havent gotten around to doing it yet. Do you have a tester at the shop?
Thanks for the help.

I made a tester quick and found all my boost leaks, but if you have a compression tester that would be helpful.
