Did a turbo swap, cant seem to find a boost leak I have. I try to go to shops and non of them want to work on my car. They say they don't have enough experience etc. Does anyone know of any good shops in socal LA area that can help me? I've even tried whitfeild racing, they said they dont have time with ecotec anymore as they're too much into their acuras etc.

 

Where in so cal? Try Jr or Steve?

 

take it to ZZP ^_^

 

Lol good one Joey

 

have you made a boost leak tester? It's pretty easy to find the leak that way

 

Wat he said ^^^^^

Im good at working with these engine. I've been into mine a few times. Have 2 sitting in the garage. But im up in modesto.

 

^^^^There it goes, only a 3 hour drive....lol

 

eww modesthoe... its all about the dirty five thirty lmao... might have you work on mine when i get back to the norcal/oregon area... zzp can tune isnt cutting it

 

I have, and we hear it. we cant find it. We put smoke to it too so Idk. It's really weird. I think it's my lower charge pipe. Has to be coming out from either the MAP/MAF sensor or the boost tap screw. Need to pull it out and silicone it up. Nobody wants to work on my car though. I don't get it.

I know lol. You might be last resort if I can't figure this thing out. Thank you bro.

 

How about using ur leak tester and then put soap on piping to c bubbles?

 

dont know of any ecotec specific place in socal but evasive is good ive taken my car to them a few times

 

Im Down wen ever. Ill have my 2.4 lsj done soon. Can't wait

 

Church auto, FSR motorsport, evasive, EDO......

 

I work for a shop in lake Elsinore and I specialize in anything boosted. I have a 550hp 300zx twin turbo and a 2010 cobalt SS making 380hp/410tq on a stock turbo. If anyone has a problem with their car and have been told its ganna cost an arm and a leg to fix let me know in a pm and I'll send you the address. If I can't fix the problem you pay nothing.

 

Thank you guys for all the responses.

 

Church auto only tunes. FSR never answered lol. Evasive doesn't have time till end of July. and EDO doesn't work on my car lol. , I'm all out of options. Thank you though.

I've pm'd you and called you man. What happened? I was ready to come when you say so..

 

Were r u located in so cal?

 

Los angeles. 4 hours away from you . I want to cry lol.

 

Its not that bad of a drive..had a guy drive up with a supercharged le5 we converted him back to stock and he drove home the same day.

 

I guess I might just have to come up. Holy ****, this is a vegas trip pretty much. I'll see what i can do. I might roll thru a firday nigth stay at a hotel and maybe of you can wrok on it saturday and I can be out same day maybe?

 

I have beer and steak..lol
Pm me if u decide to do it..i also have hp tuners

 

Pm'd... ****, I can't believe this might be happening. I hope it gets fixed, if it doesn't. I'm screwed, fully don't know what to do anymore. I'm goign to be positive though.

 

Keep us posted on how it goes . . my friend in Simi Valley is an ASE certified mechanic and works full time at the dealership, and has his own shop for extra work and customer projects on the side.

He has built many high horsepower cars, all different makes and models, N/A, supercharged, turbo, juiced, etc., and quite a few that nobody else wants to touch. He recently worked on a 240 LSX swap that was crazy fast!

 

Info on him please, anyway I can contact him? simi valley is 20 miles away which is better than 300 going to modesto LOL.

 

Sent you a PM.
