the point of the test, asswipe, is to find the leaks and fix them. so that the turbo spools at the proper RPM

what? that doesn't help spray soapy water on my charge pipes?

that should fix it. i was having the same problem. i was using a -4 feed, and -6 return. i went up to a -10 return and it hasn't leaked since. but tomorrow i'm going to get a restrictor to bring it down to -3 just for good measure.

when i bought my WG used, it didn't come with the ring that seals the valve inside. so i've been using my buddies wastegate until i can find a ring for mine. problem is, i can't find any. does anyone know somewhere i can get this. i need it yesterday. btw, i've emailed tial a couple times...

i want/need to perform a boost leak test on my car. but i have no idea how to do it. any help?

if the seals are blown, shouldn't there be oil in the IC piping coming from the turbo? i haven't checked this yet....

here are the pics, i apologize for the resolution, i didn't have time to downsize them

i have a -4 feed. and the return line is... ½" maybe. i'm not sure off the top of my head. i will put some pics up later tonight. how would the feed or return line make it leak oil, or whatever it is doing?

i have a decent amount of oily residue build up on the inlet to my turbo. is this a sign of failing seals? it also looks that there might be a little bit of leakage between the exhaust and intake side of the turbo. it is a t3t4 Turbonetics. it's supposed to only have about 5k miles on it...

how do you run the wires from inside the dist. cap to the blaster coil?

so you're saying my DSM 450cc's are only good for around 260hp?

can i get a link? cause i've looked and i'm not seeing it anywhere..

i know all engines are different. but in general. when you install a turbo, is it best to set your cam gears to stock time? i will be installing my turbo in about a month. and right now, my intake cam is at +7*, and ex +2* (B16 with CTR's) should i set them both back to 0*? btw....it has...

i bought a Turbonetics t3t3 turbo i was told its a .50 trim but can you tell the size of the trim on turbos and what determines the AR of the turbo.... even more..what is the AR? -Robbie

basically i was just wondering what the differences were. inside and out. if there were any electrical differences, or any differences in the flanges. and if a non vtec will work with a vtec, and vice versa...
