does anyone know of a good lnf mechanic in the indy area? any suggestions would be great!


im sorry if this is in the wrong section didnt know which to post it in

 

Might help with saying, what you actually need.

 

What's up?

 

Car won't boost past 7psi and has a 24psi ive have had it boost leak tested and smoked tested put new 3bars in lubed the bpv and changend the waste gate solenoid. The dealership and shop I took it to in terre haute gave up on the car.

 

Pull the intake off and check the turbo shaft for play

 

Does your car have gms1 or a tune to run the 3 bar sensors? Definitely sounds like a boost leak.

 

I've had some really bad boost leaks all at once and also a hurt turbo and it would still hit the target boost but dropped off super fast. All at once I had a blown hole in my intercooler on a weld, both map sensors leaked and a meth hose that came off on the coldpipe resulting in a 1/4in fitting that was just a leak

 

it has a tune for the 3bar. No One can find a leak but I will check the shaft for play

 

You don't hear any grinding noises do you?

 

No it instantly climbs up to 7psi and just sits there. Everything sounds fine no grinding or high pitch noises or flutters

 

clogged cat I would venture to say. Go see Alan Mcclure...

 

Mr Gasket makes a cat cleaner that may be worth a try it prob won't cure the issue but if it gains a bit of flow then you'll know powell is right

 

OP, do you have HPTuners?

 

If stock cats they could be melted with a 24psi tune. OP any DTCs? Which ones?

 

OP never said what parts he had on the car. I wonder if the cat has melted

 

If catless I would say boost leak.

 

i have hahn catback and highflow cat downpipe not my choice what it was when i got it and yes i have HPtuners

 

Do you have cat protection off?

 

no just the cat warm up

 

So you didn't set cot protection to all 1s?

 

well clogged or melted cat is easy to figure out, op, take off the downpipe and go for a quick spin, if u get ur boost back u know ur problem. just don't do it when everyone is sleeping haha, im sure ull hear an awesome turbo spool

 

Tom have you done this?? i would not want to try driving my car with it off would be so loud!!

 

Pull the DP and check the cat. Any codes?

 

I did it with a talon, the exhaust wasn't really loud but the turbo was retarded loud, sounded like a semi truck in the cold when all u hear is turbo spool. actually loved it lol. guy at work also had a car with no exhaust at all, just down pipe, it was loud, but for the purposes of checking for I wouldn't care. just drive slowly till it warms up, wont be to loud, then all u need is one wot pull and then go home.

 

all i had was p2178 and p2187 that popped up with p0299
