Boost leak! So pissed.

ttbmer · 02-01-2011, 03:06 AM

After installing my IC I got a boost leek. Is so bad that I can hear the Air escaping, almost Like a BOV but under acceleration. Changing the hoses tmrw hopefully that will do it.

Has this happened to anybody else here. ??? But the car runs fine, and I can only here the air escaping after I pass 3500k.

Won't it throw a code?

sleepergm · 02-01-2011, 09:06 AM

Not on my BMW ... but it used to happen all the time on my VW ...

But it ran horrible when the pipes blew off under heavy boost.

no worries about spelling here.... you get a new helix? or was it used? did you install your self?

Any boost logs?

It should yes

ttbmer · 02-01-2011, 12:06 PM

Yeah it should, mine does it only under hard acceleration.

blisstik · 02-01-2011, 12:11 PM

I thought I had this problem at one time. I even bought 2.75" ID t-bolt clamps. Those things are super tight. Anyway, the problem wasn't even a leak, it was one of the coils.

Bakeme521 · 02-01-2011, 12:14 PM

If you know where it is what are you pissed about? Go fix it.
