Piggysniffer Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Cold -5 this morning and car only boosted 15.86psi instead of the usual 18.43psi, do we think cold is a factor here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Could've been in just wasn't warmed up properly, did you do a few blasts ? I would say possible boost leak but normally with a boost leak it over boosts so unsure , Did you have rom raider on Was it pulling any timing ?

savage bulldogs Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Generally you get more boost in the cold due to the colder denser air. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole81 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Maybe a slight crack in a pipe or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread to think what piggy would buy if he had crack in a pipe , last time he got some rum down him he bought a random dump valve [emoji23] But your right it could well be a vac line, intake pipework or inlet air leak loosing boost . Any codes or other symptoms? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggysniffer Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hmmmm, starting to think it may be the actual rum induced eBay bov leaking .... Unless I've made a mistake fitting the intercooler some how, it does seem to reach better boost in 4th and 5th, wasn't pulling any timing, well, any more than usual haha, I had also takes the silicone inlet pipe of earlier to check turbo shaft play, there seems to be enough play to pretty much let the inlet blades touch the casing when no oils circulating, and I do get a weird "noise in a tube" effect at times, anyway, new engine on the horizon so gonna not worry bout it too much 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
