Anyone that was at the Summit meet this past monday may have heard about my little get together with a woman in a white accord.
If not, long story short, she ran me off the road and into a curb.
no HORRIBLE damage done, just need an alignment and some new front tires.
But because i was paranoid, i did a compression test today and hooked up the air compressor to check for boost leaks.
Compression was fine, i believe 180psi in each.
then came the boost check:no:
7 leaks later......
its amazing i was making boost at all!
-1 on either side of the intercooler, the T bolt clamps were too big.
-4 in the vaccum lines from the manual boost controller
-1 where the BOV meets the cold pipe, the Oring was shot, so i used some right stuff compound.
then, on top of that, turns out i tuned it with all those boost leaks, so when it was sealed, i was running LLLEEEAAANNN as all get out.
so i had to retune the MF2.
6 hours of tinkering later, the Lude feels like a beast again. :D :D :D
