Angry boost problem help...

Can someone help me finc the cause of my boost problem plz...

When I try to push the car my boost gauge reach 80kpa before losing to 60kpa then back up to 80 then down to 60 and so on (80,60,80,60) until I lift my foot from gaz

pretty anoying.. If I don't push the car no boost problem......

I changed the oem filter for a K&N dropin and GM told me I have a little crack in the piping between the air box and the turbo, is tgis the cause of my problem or there is something else ???

thanks in advance

it will but it's BO for now have to wait, but someone told me that it might not be the problem, cause it's just more air coming in. since I know almost nothing yet about turbos I need advice. Can it only be this causing my problem or should I check elsewhere.

I prefer finding what's the problem myself with your help than getting bullshit for GM dealers... I love to know what'S wrong before going to the dealer

ok and until I get the parts do you think it can help to put back the oem filter ??

is there an easy way to find this crack and ducktape it for the 10 days I'va to wait to get this repaired. if it's in the rubber part then I'm fucked up to top this leak until then...

If you're saying the crack is in the intercooler tank, you can do a quick fix with QuikSteel. Find it at Walmart, if they have those up there in the frozen North.
