so i have worked on my car a million times.. and i have brrn upgrading it for a long time. finally got it done... and just wanted to see if it ran decent.. i am not creating any boost. my car is so slow... lol. it has an exhaust leak. i am gonna have it fixed, but i was wondering if it could be the cause of me having know boost? i think i would at least create some. maybe the exhaust leak is not my only problem?

what do you guys think?

 

no i dont think that would cause the leak unless it is on the manifold then i can c it happening. make sure all the pipes are connected, ic pipes that is. i cant think of to many things that would cause it not to work

 

Boost leak some place.

 

if it's a leak in the manifold then that would definitely be your problem, if not then it'd have nothing to do with it... like he said check all of ur connections

 

check your wastegate to make sure its not stuck open also

 

well, i realized it is because i have exhaust leaks everywhere... lol. the o2 housing didnt bolt up perfectly and threw everything off. i tightened the bolts down some more and created a little boost. but, i cannot tighten them anymore and it is still massive leakage. i kinda expected this. so i went down to the best reputable place i know.. and monday i am gonna have a custom fabbed downpipe from the turbo to the cat with a flexpipe. eliminatin the o2 housing. it is gonna be run so it is a more fluid motion rather than being a sudden drop. i guess they have done almost a dozen cars like mine with awesome results. they are gonna charge me a decent price. but, i am feeling it is worth it, cuz from how me n the guy talked about... it should be a badass downpipe!. then everything will be line up correctly and snugeed up perfect before we even start the custom fab. ensuring perfect fit. I am so excited. just got my clutch in... and after the downpipe, i am gonna throw in the clutch, run it thru an 800 mile easy break in... and then put in the injectors, tuner, fpr,pump... and tune it. i am gettng excited!
