help needed please (South Wales)
« on: 27 December 2011, 17:19 »
It's been bothering me for a while now and I want it done!!
I have a massive boost leak and would like someone in South Wales area to help me source a pressure test to pin point where the leak is.

If it helps I have a AGU stage 1 R-Tech remap, I have checked all the hoses from the turbo to the throttle body (intercooler pipes) I have checked all the PCV pipes and can only find 1 leaking which is the plastic lower breather pipe connected to the oil filter I believe, This is cracked and leaking oil from it.

But this wouldnt cause a spike of only 12psi then loose boost there after through the rev range surely?

List of mods are 007p, 3inch down pipe and full turbo back exhaust, FMIC and CAI. Im missing the silicone tip but will be buying that when I sort the leak out first. It was making spike of 18psi when I left R-Tech  :embarassed: please help me lol
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)
