NICE! i'll have that much in a few weeks.. least if everything goes well

im supposed to be pushing 18. but my i/c piping doesnt really like anything over 12. i need to get my piping rolled but i dont got a chance to go to the exhaust shop. not to mention i have to get a new boost controller. one second im boosting 7, then im boosting 17, then 13. the EBC is stupid. and to find out if i had a boost leak i unplugged my wastegate line to keep it closed and i do got a leak somewhere cause its not boosting the turbos max

that sucks.. did you try the hairspray thing on your piping?

 

[BlackCobalt707]

yea, i tried hairspray. but other pipes were coming off. i said **** it and now im using RTV. at first i had a problem with the coupler coming off the turbo popping off. i finally fixed that by using a old coupler i had from my previous turbo that was a 2" - 2.5". i stuff the 2" portion on the compressor housing and waalaa, no more problems there.

haha whatever works for your man

 

[BlackCobalt707]
