Justin case Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hey everyone,I just installed the stage 2 parts on my car (invidia UP,CNT catted DP,cheapy torx racing tmic (from a gb on nasioc) and small things like an avo TB hose, a turbo blanket and a heat shield. Problem is I'm not making target boost. It maxes at around 14.5psi rather than 16. I'm thinking I may have a small boost leak so I datalogged in case anyone could take a look and offer some insight. It also makes a noise,one which I think it normal turbo spooling noise like a whine. The second is what I kinda think is a leak,its more of a wooshing sound and only happens when in boost.datalog4.csv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin case Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well this will be a short thread,I went out and started checking for leaks and couldn't find any so i decided to check out the T/B hose and vacuum lines and such. Well i loosened the clamp on the TMIC side of the tb hose and went to remove it. Apparently I didnt get the clamp tight enough on the throttle body side and it was leaking under boost. I put the stock TMIC and hose on and took it for a ride,no more noise and it made 16psi easy and even went to 17psi briefly. I made another log that I will upload later so people will have a reference of what a loose tb hose vs fixed logs will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
