if you got to advanced and rent one. . . you can return it and get all of your money back. at least that's how it was with their pulley puller.

Well, i just drove it again. I tried to hit it alittle and it would set me back, instead of going forwards. I would hear a loud hiss sound. It wouldnt go, it would just like push me back. Does this still sound like a Boost Leak? I havent had the time to build my boost leak tester....

and again, if the bov isn't going off than you know boost isn't reaching your throttlbody so check all your couplers, if you can't find any leaks there, get in the car, rev it up and have a friend try to find out where it's leaking form... if THAT doesn't work, go make yourself a boost leak tester, its' cheap.

make a boost leak tester for your car!!!its easy and the only real way to find a leak. you have to have a compresor to hook it up to. but, all i did was took a plastic baby bottle, drilled a hole in the bottom, slipped in a car valve stem (the metal kind with a nut at the backside to screw it down tight, and hooked it up to the IC piping thats right after the turbo... and found my boost leak. it was on my upper IC pipe, but i had to put the compressor to 18 psi to find it. it was just coming off as soon as i boosted, and then would set back on like normal so it would idle properly... then again when the boost started running thru it seperated the upper IC pipe and leaked like hell! hope this helps, that prolly your problem bro!
