My reference line for my boost controller is in the first piece of intercooler pipe, so I’m positive that vacuum line is seeing 20lbs and telling the wg to open. The turbo is working normally, the boost is just pissing out somewhere. After I eat breakfast, I’ll find out exactly where. ---

oh ok. I think since my boost reference is right in that first piece of ic pipe the turbo is working as hard as it normally does. It would make sense that way at least. ---

nick , the best way to find boost leeks that are not obv is to smoke the system man . we have a smoke machine at work we use to presurrize the system and if and when a leek is there smoke will poor out of it ---

go to home depot and get a rubber vent cap from the plumbing section the size of the IC pipe going into the throttle body and a tire valve with the little nut you tighten down to seal it to what ever you are attaching it to. Drill a hole in the rubber cap, stick the valve through it and put the nut/seal on it. clamp that bitch on the charge pipe as far up stream as you can (right at the throttle body). get a tank of air, or a line off the air compressor (when its not running) and give it a quick blast in the system with 30 psi or so. If you have a leak you will hear it pissing out and can track it down. or if you have a loose coupler you will blow it off. lol $5 boost leak finder for the win. BONUS FEATURE, put it on the throttle body and look for gasket leaks, vac leaks, etc. too! ---

I don’t have an air compressor and still want to either smoke the system or check it with a compressor, but I pulled the front off the car and checked all the vacuum line leads, they are all good. Possible that I blew the turbo? I make 15lbs in 1st and 2nd, but I build 19 by the end of third…kinda confused at this point. Turbz just isn’t spooling as fast as it usually does. > [@Apparently, the front fell off.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/apparently-the-front-fell-off/42727/14): > > Nick this car needs some one who knows what they are doing to go through and fix all the half ass shit under the hood Thats what I’m thinkin… ---
