so i was driving home from work and my car was fine i went inside and changed and went to my gf's house and i noticed that my exhaust was sounding wierd then i noticed i had no boost damnit!!!!!! i lifted my hood then realized the piece that keeps the intercooler piping from moving broke but their wasnt any holes in the pipe. I drove my car alittle more and then my check engine light came on wtf!!!!! no boost = no fun

 

Gotta love the stock piping...take her in...hopefully GM comes out for a fix for this.

 

the piping blows *****

 

this may help superman....

yea i saw that lastnight ill probably get them next month my cars in the shop right now i hope i get it back today

 

at the e-town ecotec meet they had a new ss/tc and the stock pipeing was already broke this was way back on may 4

 

i got my car last fri do you think thats why i lost boost??? when we cheaked the hose out it didnt look like their was a hole or anything in the piping my turbo isnt boosting at all

 

well if the piping disconnected, then there is nothing pushing the turbo to boost anymore? I mean I don't know crap about turbos, but this would make sense...

 

but it wasnt disconnected. my service advisor called me like 30mins ago and was like i took your car for a drive and the turbo isnt boosting in my head i was kinda like no **** thats why i brought it in. but hopefully i findout the problem today

 

dont you love it when there's something majorly wrong with your car but yet they proceed to "take it out for a drive"


EDIT: actually isnt that funny

 

check to see if your by pass is leaking too..

******* shitty stock parts

 

im depressed lol

 

how many miles do u have on your balt? I;m going to check my piping in a bit...

 

like 500

 

dude that sucks, it happened in my srt-4, it was the stock piping, i just got some t clamps and never had a problem after that. I am getting upgraded pipes

 

yea i just got off the phone with my service advisor and he told me that it was throwing codes for the turbo ill find out monday what needs to be done

 

i went out and check today and my piping is loose as hell

 

I had the same problem until I put the poly transmission bushings and the TTR engine mount in. Now the engine doesn't move so the pipe doesn't pop off.

 

they have to

it's called confirming the complaint

kinda like if someone brings their car in for a vibration....you have to drive it to get an idea of where it's coming from and how bad the vibration is before you put it on the lift to inspect....test driving is a huge part of diagnosis

 

i disagree first thing should be read the codes if there are any present... thats what i would do at my shop! a vibration is a vibration. this is in plain site when you start the car!

but anyways good luck

 

how much did that run you... im buying synapse intercooling piping soon

 

I got in at the tail end of the group buy that TTR was doing. I ended up paying like 250 or something for everything.

 

The same thing happened to me. My dealer ship ordered a new pipe and installed it. The tech came out and showed me the pipe. The new pip is smaller and the clip that holds it in place if diff. Pipe dues not move at all now.

 

maybe i was wrong and they will have a recall
didnt think it would be this common a problem.

 

You say the turbo isn't creating any "boost"? If it was a boost leak the compressor would still be putting out..sure it's not a wastegate issue...
