Car Not Boosting As It Should :(

[BigAl's04]

How do I check if the piping has a boost leak?

Get someone to give it a few revs while you listen under the bonnet. Should be able to hear it if it's leaking.

Ring Chris or Theo at Blue Power bud, clearly at 5.48pm they aren't there now but will be in the morning... rather than try and diagnose an issue on the internet call the people who tuned/performed the work on the car in the first place.

It's stuff like this that ends in miscommunications and tears. If my car farts or coughs in the wrong way I'm in contact with my tuner... not the internet to answer my questions. If you aren't hugely mechanically minded, not everyone is and that's cool, then the first point of call is your tuner

thanx for all the suggestion I ended finding the problem was the silicon joiner connecting to the throttle body and the elbow,

nice... has happened to me before. Made a really loud sneeze sound when getting off the throttle.

Can u please elaborate on the problem and how u fixed it. A mate is having a similar problem he has lost the flutter noise and now only hears a sneeze non bov type noise. Car dosn't boost up hard any more and runs 300+rwkw. The car still gets going but doesn't go as it used to.. Basically it comes on the boost real slow past 4k rpm and only runs about 8psi aswell. Cheers

He said it was a split joiner to throttle body. So I'd say he replaced it. I'd say your mate has a boost leak somewhere. Either a split hose/joiner or a loose hose clamp.

Have to post this. Somehow I think I might have a bit of a boost leak :/

This is the piece off the front of the turbo housing.

[ratter]

that will not cause a boost leak but may allow unfiltered air into the turbo

Yeh just spoke to dad about it. He said its on the wrong side to cause a leak since theres no pressure. But thanks ratter
