On top of that I actually tested it, and am 100% sure its not a boost leak at this point. and you were also sure your car crankwalked a week ago… I’d take the word of the few people who just said its not humidity who know their shit vs a bunch of tards on evom/gvr4 ---

This doesn’t make me a turbo expert but I do work with turbos every day. Stop thinking so hard. Boost is controlled by the wastegate. Not some magical thing that just does whatever it wants. ---

Well if someone else would like to try to find a boost leak at the cost of free, I will gladly oblige. I did what I was told to try and found no leaks in the system. So if there is still a problem, something else gave out, its not a boost leak. ---

Could be a leaky manifold gasket Or your wastegate spring could be whooped or your turbos whooped DO all the maintenance it needs and then just fucking drive the thing ---

Well at this point I’m giving serious thought to what would suffer from sitting for 2 weeks. The car was making 20psi the day i stopped driving it, then all the sudden it was only making 15 when I started driving it again 2 weeks later. At this point I think I will just replace parts the least expensive thing at a time until I find the problem. ---

I did what I was told to try and found no leaks in the system. So if there is still a problem, something else gave out, its not a boost leak. How did you check? I pressurize from the turbo inlet (about 20psi), than use Snoop (soapy water stuff) and spray it on all my connections, works every time. Now only if I can get a throttle body that doesnt leak at the shaft seals :lol ---

I pressurized at the first j-pipe right after the turbo and blocked off the bottom of the pipe so air wouldn’t just piss out the turbo outlet. ---

It kinda sounds like a wastegate problem if you “dont have any leaks”. ---
