Ok guys I have a completely stock SR20DET with the acception of a TurboSmart boost controller and a B.O.V Problem is now that ive installed the aluminum pipe that goes from the intercooler to the throttle body(the pipe that runs along the front of the car) and the HKS turbo intake. After 30 seconds of idling it starts to idle like my old truck!!! Bwap bwap bwap bwap. The sound sounds like its coming from the stock intercooler or the HKS intake. But the sound goes away when I rev it or drive it(sometimes it goes Bwaaap when I let off the throttle). I need help guys cause I don’t wanna drive it unitl I know its safe. So if theres anyone in the calgary area that can drop by and listen to this thing plz PM me. ---

Sounds like a boost leak. Should be an easy fix. Go over EVERY connection and jerk them, make sure everything is sealed. ---

EGR valve on my car looks brand new? Man this is fricken wieeeeerd. “Typhoon” stopped by today with his buddy to pick up my roll cage and hood, they didnt even know what was going on? They said maybe ti was cause the old stock airbox had a silencer thing and prevented the rough suction. Cause you know how stock airboxes have those little add-ons on the die of them with seperate tubes to the airbox? Arg ---

i don’t think we’re talking about the same thing lol, you don’t need to weld it off it should come off pretty easily the only hard part is that pipe connention to the down pipe. ---
