    weird boost leak?

    The pick up tube in the tank was broken. So I think it was sucking up air and making it run rough and no power. I installed an inline filter with a piece of hose for now till the customer orders the hutch mod. I still don't get full boost tho. I get 13-14 wot. I don't know, that might be...

    weird boost leak?

    its coupled to the turbo inlet. i can pressurize it but it loses pressure really fast and lots of air comes out the ccv from the drivers side valve cover. it does not hold pressure, i also put soapy water all over the boots and no leaks.
