well it might, or it might just not drive normal at all and sputter instead of a smooth incline in rpms. it all depends on where the boost leak is

Could it be a spike?

RE: boost leak
 

what kinda mods you got? how much boost you running?

RE: boost leak
 

Depends on your mods. A boost leak usually ill make the idle jump up and down. and the car sputter and want to stall out on hard stops.


That asside why did you put a pic of an Evo wing in your post? If your going to put a pic at least make it your car not a dummy pic

yeah i was wondering the same thing,lol
the easiest way to tell is, when ur driving and hit the brakes, the idle will go down then come back up to regular idle

or do it the right way and simply get a boost leak tester and actually test all the charge pipes and FMIC that way;)

Ifhe can't figure out if he has a boost leak, we won't know how to do a leak test.

well i have after market wastegate, bov, and ams intercooler, with a turboxs boost control, full 3" exhaust, and im trying to finish painting the car before i post the pic thats why and thats all people see when i race them is my ass anyways, so yea. do you think if i upgrade the piping would that work.
