Does not boost period. Blow off valve has never one gone off, obviously.The IC lines were hissing when I stepped into it pretty good, so I checked all of the hose clamps on the lines and tightened a few of them. They dont hiss like they did, but there is still a boost leak. Everything is stock, nothing aftermarket. Where is this leak coming from? Maybe the blow off valve? No power=driving me crazy:mad:

could be the bov is your bov stock? or do you have a block off plat? and an after market bov? did you over spool the turbo and kill it?

Believe that it is stock. It is right off the turbo if Im correct. I think that the car is bone stock from motor to suspension.

buld yourself a boost leak tester, i think you're on the right track by checking the hoses

Build one and it will serve you well. These cars can develop boost leaks over time.

I used some PVC pipe caps...2" I think...with one of them drilled and tapped for a compressor fitting.

thanks. will definately do that. THough I have been rading up, and I think that it sounds like my waste gate actuator is bad. Boost guage does not go above 0. Does not even spike.

Even with a wide open wastegate, I would expect a few psi of boost.
