Either there is more wrong with your car... or there going to tell you the turbo is on national back order.

JacBlackSS/TC

Yeah totally the back order call more than likely although this is an example of a reason why they are on back order

Rissa

Well they called me back, put on the new turbo, and what do ya knoooooooooow. It still has the same problem lol. So I have to get my old manifold back buy all new gaskets and **** so they can see if that helps. I have a feeling I'm gonna spend lots of $, and not be left with any purple parts.

do any of these techs know what they are doing? they need to spray some damn carb cleaner around the intake mani and find out where it is leaking. i can almost put money on the intake manifold gasket being damaged

Phyrric

Obviously it was running a tow hook untuned

outtamymind

ya agreed, spray some carb cleaner around the gaskets and see where its leaking from. putting the stock manifold back on is a waste of time and something you can do yourself rissa

Rissa

I don't know man...this sucks...

It's not at my house that's the problem.

Different car dealer, ASAP. This one doesn't know what he is doing and is playing parts swap till he gets lucky. Is this at your expense? If so, tow that thing out of there before it becomes out of control.

Don't be afraid of offending him, Marisa. This is Spencer and YOUR money he's spending now.

outtamymind

i know was more of a why pay them to do it when you can do it yourself. pay them to do their jobs and track down a cause before they start changing out parts. i hate lazy mechanics that don't know how to actually diagnos anymore. /rant lol

Rissa

I'm not sure what to do...ugh :/ I can get the parts for super cheap...

outtamymind

save yourself the money, get spencer towed back to your house and do it yourself. but thats just me

Rissa

My hesitation with that, is that's how this problem started in the first place lol.

the car has a vacuum leak. it's something very easy to trace down. get yourself a can of carb cleaner and go to town. you will know when you have found your leak

outtamymind

understandable. if you don't want to do that then have them confirm that its the new intake mani causing the problem before you bring in the old one. there are ways for them to do this such as spraying carb cleaner around the gasket area's and if there is a leak then the engine speed will increase for a moment and then come back down. you can do this with vacuum leaks as well

Call another dealer or a few shops. Describe the problem. If one of them mentions carb cleaner or laughs at the new turbo tow it there.

Rissa

Yeah I'm gonna start lookin around...I think i'm just gonna buy the intake manifold gasket and see if that helps.

if it ran ok before you replaced the intake mani its the gasket..im with blazin id put money on it. Especially since you said u re used the gasket

FF_ace

you should have replaced the gaskets when putting in the new purple parts

Rissa

We re-used the intake manifold gasket, I'm going to buy that...and tell them to try that first.

my car is down too!

outtamymind

reusing them shouldn't have caused this unless they were a crush style which i'm pretty sure they are the silicon style. i've had my intake mani off a few times with the stock gasket in there with no problems but that doesn't mean it didn't get ripped or damaged while it was out. so ya start there and have them check for vacuum leaks while they are at it.

check your pm's

the intake manifold gasket on the LNF is a crush style gasket i replaced every gasket went i built my motor a few months back
