no no lol.. thats what the boost leak tester held up to. you put on the intake side and use compressed air

 

oooooooo lolol. my bad, misunderstood

 

iirc you can't get a trifecta tune on the spot, it has to be ordered even from a tuner

 

hes ordering tommrrow

 

so i got my car back from werks and the tune is good, now im on to the second issue. when the car gets warm my vacuum/ boost cant stay constant and just bounces. when this happens i think it affects my bov and it goes of really late and is surging it sounds like. when the car is colder and the vacuum is fine everything works perfect and spot on. any suggestions?

i was thinking boost leak but if it was a boost leak i wouldnt be able to hold boost and it would always be bouncy like that. help!!

 

did you tap into the EVAP line off the intake manifold?

 

yea thats the only the line i could get to, i was thinking that can be the issue too. i have a T coming off the intake manifold, 1 line going to wastegate. then the other side going to another T that connects to my BOV and evap. how else should i run the lines?

 

looks like I won't be getting reimbursed for the hit and run, even though I have his license plate number..

On that note, can I go to GM and buy SS parts in person? (I've grown to dislike the online shipping business, especially with huge parts like a bumper) If so, anyone got a web catalog so I can get an estimate on prices?

 

that's your issue.Try getting a fitting that will let you tap the brake booster hose.the evap line is a great source of vacuum,until the evap solenoid opens in which it pulsates when it opens.

 

Omg thank you! SoI just run a line from my intake manifold to the evap then find a connector from the brake booster to wastegate,bov, and gauge? Or other way around?

 

yes.Evap solenoid to intake manifold.Then find a fitting that is 1/2 or 5/8's(whatever the booster line is) that also has smaller vacuum nipples on it.

 

is the vacuum line for the booster the big one underneath the throttle body?

 

yes^^

 

 

armor all!

 

car came off the hoist, out of the garage and straight to the store. took these behind said store

 

Lookin good. I love white rims

 

whats like sticking out of the door?

 

oh hai

 

that may be my problem. take pics once you get it..

 

my weather stripping is ripped. need to replace that

 

I have the evap & map together on one with the evap T'd into it and the map on the end. bov, wastegate and brake booster all on seperate fittings on the intake manifold. BOV has a T in the line for the boost gauge.

I ran the oil drain on the head/intake manifold to the intake on the turbo. and the pcv to the turbo intake. Then added a -10an fitting onto my oil cap.. Took me several trys and massive headaches to get this to work correctly but now it works awesome.

 

jdn, what are you lowered on?

 

jdn902 do you have studded snow tires on the front wheels?

 

im pretty sure 1lowls is right, i just need to find a fitting for the thick line and a vacuum nipple too.

anyone know what fitting to use?
