Build a boost leak tester, drop the bumper, mix some soap and water, and then wet everything.

 

He's WITH HPTuners, as in he works for the company directly? Or is he just using HPTuners?

I've just never heard of an Edgar who works for HPTuners.

 

Bt I have a concern, I did fix. 2 boost leaks on both couplers of the intercooler when I did take it to the shop bt it was fixed, now that it's fixed it's throwing the code?? Doesn't make no sense.... never had this issue before, I fixed boost leak and now it throws the p0101 code and I'm boosting higher psi than before be cus I wasn't able to go past 22 psi with the leak now with it fixed it boosts 29 psi when we were tuning it bt needed some things done to keep up with that amount of power now I fixed it and it's boosting fine bt throwing the code ?? Sketch

Nah sorry to clarify he works with hp tuners he's a local tuner referred by alot of people tuned by him

 

Is there any way you could get your hands on the most recent logs and email them to me? I'd be curious to take a look and see if I could help out a bit further. The more data I have (or we as a whole here) have, the better help you will be able to get. As a cohesive unit, we've basically seen just about every scenario there is when it comes to a P0101 code. There are always exceptions I'm sure though.. lol

 

Did you have it tuned right before you found the boost leak?

 

Yes it had tune

 

I think we're all bored with this thread, now.

 

Would throwing stock intake over the hahn intake help??

 

still haven't fixed issue, waiting for tuner to catalog see if we can tune

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Could this problem result from hahn intake?? Should I throw my stock intake back on?? My friend with cobalt has intake for sale

 

Depends on how the tune is

 

It's highly unlikely to be caused by the intake unless there's a leak between the maf pad and inducer housing. It's possible, just highly unlikely. The inducer side of the compressor is the draw side NOT positive pressure side of the system. Again, it's still possible, just not likely.

You've asked this a couple times now so I'm guessing you think it's a likely cuplrate. Just put the stock air box on and see if it resolves anything. It's an easy enough thing to do so try it out and let us know. Maybe you'll get lucky.

 

I'm sure u have boost leak, when u test always go a little higher than u boost to. Iv had no leaks till 20 psi then after 20 it started leaking

 

I boost leak tested the car tho? The car builds boost just fine and will hit full boost, 24 psi , other times it'll throw the code and limp mode... I had 2 huge boost leaks I fixed on ic piping, and it really had a boost leak then and it never threw this code so now I fixed the boost leak bt now it throws this code...? Doesn't make sense, I'm going to tuner today to diagnose car.. possibly the maf need calibration in the tune

 

I have money on a boost leak. If it was there while tuning maf at wot is likely reading around 27lbs/min max. If leak just happened after I bet STFT is mega negative at wot.

 

I doubt it I had no issues tuning my hahn intake nor the hundreds of others out there.

 

P0101 happens when the measured airflow at the MAF is much higher than the predicted VE airflow (has to be off over 25% normally). Every single P0101 I have seen logs of was a boost leak and I have seen hundreds of them over the last 6 years.

 

Did you drop the bumper and make sure there is no leak at the IC?

 

Yes we did since I was to going to replace intercooler I was certain it was cracked, bt tested it and intercooler is fine, would my car still build boost if I had cracked or broken intercooler??

 

I checked bpv on turbo wasn't leaking, fixed 2 leaks that were on intercooler couplings , had all couplings replaced on ic, boost leak tested car had no more leaks... where else can a leak be coming from??

How could it have boost leak bt it's boost g target boost just fine ??

 

Up

 

I'm still waiting on a response to this. A log file would be extremely helpful in locating an issue, whether it be mechanical or elsewhere.

 

Yeh tuner is going to see car today he's busy with work fam etc so hopefully today well be able to check it

 

Were you able to get it fixed or still getting the code?
