Until you dump so much cash and time into it that you could have bought a nicer one from the rip...

That's true. But I'm hoping it's not going to cost me a arm and a leg. We shall see I'm getting the recall done tomorrow and a oil change. And going to get all the codes that it is throwing.

So I got the recall done on my balt today. On my way home stopped at autozone to figure out my codes and what not it was only throwing p0101 which is a maf.. I bought a new maf unhooked battery after I installed it and still a light on. I fixed my ecs light and abs. The idiot who put the wheel bearing on didn't put the sensor together. I also was messing with my intake and realized it wasn't fully on the coupling that goes to turbo so after I Re clamped it back on I took it for a ride. I peaked at 20 psi on a pull I was so happy then the next pull the intake fell off the coupling again, so I put it back on and thought I had the boost problem finally fixed. Took it for another ride and absolutely no boost turbo spools you can hear the intake and what not but no boost it's weird it cuts in and out... HELPPPP

Check the piping at the ends of the intercooler maybe? Sometimes they blow off too

I checked them both. They seem fine. It wants to make boost but only does it occasionally it's so weird. I checked the purge selanoid it seemed fine I blew in it and no air went through.. Anyway that it's still bad and that could be the problem?.. That's my only thought or a vacuum leak somewhere

II would also say recheck the piping. If it worked before it blew off

Piping is all good. It fell off when I did a pull last night I put it back on and now no boost.. Do you think It could be the purge selanoid or no..
