Got kicked out of the track

[sasquatch]

I did the boost leak test and found a 1/8" hole the intercooler. I epoxied it and then pressure tested again and no more leaks but, it's still just as slow

get a boost gauge on it and see how much boost your getting... i have a funny feeling that your turbo isnt putting out enough boost... maybe you have a cracked turbo housing and its letting out exhaust past the turbine not letting it build boost fast, or at all...

I'll do this as soon as I get more money. I'm broke again.

i have a stock b6t with upgraded front mount and exhaust, and mine pulls crazy hard at 2400-2600rpm.

[chrisofna]

Oh snap, got yours running?

[festivaWES]

Yep! Be afraid!


...lol had a stupid moment while working on my car...



always remember that the front of the engine is on the passenger side and the spark plug order is 1234 not 4321..

[chrisofna]

I believe Rocketman said something about that, lol.

[festivaWES]

[festivaWES]

Hopefully he wil re-tune my ecu for me soon....

That was you problem? Congrats on getting it going.

spark plug order...

Would this extra neg camber be solved with aspire control arms and axles? (yes still have good axles, and discovered both my festy axles aren't worth putting back in)

HAHA greyvw, i had a bad 1/4x1"hole in my intercooler and it's holding with JBweld. No one believes me. The srt-4 is known for boost leaks, we test them pretty much when we change oil. Part of ownership.

[Grey Vw]

Haha thats funny. The aspire control arms actually give negative camber, thats how I ruined a set of tires.

[chrisofna]

Make sure you have the strut hats rotated the right way as well, one way will give you more camber than the other.

[Grey Vw]

I did not know of this and just took the struts out and put them back in two days ago. How do I know which way is the right way?
