Not boosting like before (GIAC)

[Spyder]

Where should I check for leaks? I want to get a vag-com but they're a little pricey.

i paid 35 bucks total for mine... i know they appear pricey but you can just buy a cable on ebay and d/l the software..

as far as where to look for leaks it isnt all to uncommon for the rubber that connects from the intercooler to the intake to leak.. also you said its running less boost now that it has the new recirculator valve. so look at what all you messed with to install it, perhaps its leaking on the back side of it where it slides into the hose from the turbo hotside. other then that unfortunatly i dont know without seeing it..

I got the car chipped by Brian over at epg, I tried calling the other day but as usual just the answering machine.

As far as the ebay cable I've heard some nightmares about them and I just don't know which one to get. I don't want to be stuck with one that doesn't work, plus I'd also have to get a laptop or somethin so I could use it. Which seller did you get your cable from, I'm assuming that one is working well for you.

I can't wait to get my O2 sensor so I can install that and clear the codes just to make sure for some odd reason that isn't the culprit. Tomorrow I'll check every hose I can to make sure there aren't any leaks.

Ok so I finally got around to checking the hoses and there's nothing loose. But now my CEL isn't even on anymore? It's still driving the same though. I think I'll just have to take it to eurotech and see what they say about it. I was hoping to fix it myself to save some $$ but oh well.
