It drives like its N/a. I mean, its spools a little bit but not like its suppose to and I dont hear the BPV flutter anymore.
Also, when the car is running, i can hear, very lightly, what sounds like air leaking. I pinch the vacuum line and the sound stops. Am i just hearing the air in the lines or am i leaking somewhere? I replaced the vacuum lines recently (WGA, IM and BPV), but i used Kragen's fuel lines which are actually a larger diameter which mean less velocity inside the lines, but I dont think that should affect it though. I used hose clamps to secure everything.
I double checked the turbo, and the turbine wheel is still spinning smoothly with no play (intake side). But for some reason, still no boost. I checked the IC pipes and no cracks; the car is still stock so i dont see why it would crack. The WGA is good cuz i blow air into the line that enters the WGA and no air passes through. Also, i found out that Im missing two bottom bolts on my exhaust manifold.
Im thinking, as a possibility, that exhaust gasses are leaking out from the ex. mani. and there isnt enough pressure to continue compressing the air when at boost, and that combined with the larger diameter vacuum lines is causing me to have no boost but I seriously doubt that theory.
Are there any other reasons as to why the car isnt boosting?
